Mr Taylor will be using his Slovenian Tomos XL45 Classic which has a top speed of 28mph
(Picture: PA Wire)A man on a moped has plans to explore a 1,800-mile tour of places with rude names including The Knob in King’s in Northamptonshire and Butthole Lane in Leicestershire.
Paul Taylor, from Wantage, Oxfordshire, has set his heart on the charity fundraising trip on his Slovenian Tomos XL45 Classic in memory of his friend Alex who died of cancer last year.
Mr Taylor, who has named his challenge the Moronic Moped Marathon, is raising money for the Institute of Cancer Research.
His journey will begin in Shitterton, Dorset, on Wednesday and he will update everyone on his social media about his journey.
The hilarious trip will also take him to Twatt in Orkney and Booze in the Yorkshire Dales.
He told the BBC: “I thought this trip was a suitably ridiculous place to start and, as Alexis was a motorcyclist as well as a car nut, two wheels was not only appropriate but made it more of an adventure.
“Everyone starts a long journey like that from Lands End to John O’ Groats - I wanted to do something similar, with a bit of twist.”
Mr Taylor added: “There’s some good ones around there, like Happy Bottom Nature Reserve and Sandy Balls New Forest Holiday Park.
Funny street names on his itinerary also include Pity Me in Durham, Dull in Perth and Kinross.
Also, Mr Taylor will explore the neighbouring hamlets of Crazies Hill and Cockpole Green near Reading in Berkshire.
His bike has a top speed of 28mph.
