"World's Worst Ever Book Signing Tour"

From 22nd June and throughout July of 2021 Ray is taking on a massive journey of 3000 miles stopping at pubs along the way. The tour debuts his "The clinic" where he will be selling and signing copies whilst on his tour. Money raised from his book tour will go on to support the Bowra Foundation.

The Bowra Foundation

The Bowra Foundation was founded by Mark Bowra in 2019 to inspire resilience amongst people suffering from neurological disorders through practical help and physical challenges alongside members of the Armed Forces community.

Who is Ray?

From Royal Marine to SAS Sergeant, Ray Carole an adventurer from Poole Dorset was the youngest member of the elite regiment when passing selection and has served around the world. Ray has raced 500 miles to the North Pole and walked nearly 800 miles Solo to The South Pole with no support in previous adventures. This year he’d love to be the first person to ever cross Antarctica from coast to coast alone in November if he raises the funding. A staggering 1600 miles in 90-100 days will be at the edge of human endurance without outside support.

Ray will now be taking on a new challenge in a bid to take his book across the UK on a Brompton bike, usually preferred by commuters rather than long-distance cyclists, to test Ray’s resolve and resilience whilst raising money for charity. With the support of Oysta Technology, where we can share with you Ray’s journey. With the integration of GPS tracking devices into the Solace Tracking platform anyone can follow Ray’s tour and watch his progress. You can even monitor when he is coming to your town and cheer him on and maybe even purchase a book.

The Solace App and the Pearl+

The in-house technology development team at Solace built their Solace Tracking app in support of many previous charity cycle rides and is reflective of the wider travel tracking abilities of their corporate sister app Solace Secure. The understanding is that some projects and tasks require not only GPS devices for convenience but also for the ability to use them in certain locations. Oysta Technology and Solace partnership has allowed Solace to support GPS integration into their tracking technology meaning your devices can show on our tracking platform. For this task, Ray is using our Pearl+ device viewable on the Solace Tracking app. So you can follow his route and support his cause
