 Mr Lewis has been held-up by a wait for paperwork |
A Briton trying to travel the world by human power alone is to make a delayed start to the next leg on Thursday. Jason Lewis, currently in Dili, East Timor, said he has had to wait two weeks for the necessary paperwork from the Indonesian Embassy.
The 37-year-old from Bridport, Dorset, began his Expedition 360 trip more than a decade ago from London.
Mr Lewis will now paddle kayaks with three companions more than 2,600 miles to his next destination, Singapore.

He arrived in Dili by pedal boat from Darwin, northern Australia, after an 11-day crossing in the wooden vessel Moksha with 45-year-old expedition supporter Lourdes Arango, of the United States.
The expedition continues on Thursday with two more members, Chris Tipper and April Abril.
Mr Lewis began his Expedition 360 at the Greenwich Meridian in London in 1994 by bike with founder member Steve Smith, from Wolverhampton.
The pair tackled the Channel, the Atlantic, the Pacific and the US mainland by human power before Mr Smith left to pursue other interests.
