A British adventurer has successfully completed the latest leg of his human-powered round-the-world trip.

Jason Lewis, 38, from Bridport, Dorset, has arrived in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa after completing the voyage from Mumbai, India, in 48 days.

Mr Lewis has now completed the 14th leg of his Expedition 360 in his £26,000 26ft (7.9m) pedal boat Moksha.

He and his friend Sher Dhillon have pedalled 1,900 miles despite having to cope with the vessel being damaged.

Marathon ride

During their voyage, the boat - built in Exeter, Devon - hit a sunken wreck and had to return to port for a new rudder.

Their fresh water makers also failed.

Since leaving London in 1994, Mr Lewis has also used kayaks, mountain bikes and roller blades to carry him round the world, clocking up more than 40,000 miles (64,374km).

Moksha has already crossed the Channel, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Timor Sea.

Mr Lewis will get back on his mountain bike for a marathon ride through Ethiopia and follow the Blue Nile through Egypt before continuing through Jordan, Syria and Turkey.

The final expedition leg will be a ride through Europe, with the vessel's final voyage taking Mr Lewis across the Channel and up the Thames to his Greenwich Meridian starting point.
