This Rye’s Own collection brings together articles connected with Saigon, drawing news, memories and magazine features into one path through the archive. The trail includes “The Vietnam Bike Ride in aid of Mencap” and “The Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta”, offering several ways into the subject rather than a single potted account.
The Vietnam Bike Ride in aid of Mencap
Between 31st October and 9th November, 2003 Rye and Rother Councillor Granville Bantick will be cycling 463 kms from the small city of Danang in the north of Vietnam to Saigon in the south for adults and children with learning disabilities (mental handicap).
