Armchair traveller

A British film-maker has made a short movie detailing his exploits while pulling a sofa a distance of 160km from one town to another. The man explained he wanted to experience the world for real, rather than watching it from the comfort of his own sofa at home. Instead he opted to view the real world from his sofa by taking it with him on his travels. Aided by friends at times, the man hauled the sofa along public roads but he was stopped by police on occasion, who were concerned for his safety and offered to escort him while travelling at night. The man explained that the bicycle lights attached to the rear of the sofa should alert his presence to other road users. While making the journey, the man slept overnight on the sofa several times and also used it for rest breaks.
