Quoted from Eastern Daily Press, Monday October 8th, 2001 Written by Stephen Pullinger.
“As you talk to Frank Buykx, 60, and his wife Carol, 63, it is clear they are no Mr and Mrs Average. The couple, who live in Boat Dyke Road, Upton, near Acle, love to recount how they met more than 30 years ago in Basle, Switzerland. Frank was hitch-hiking around Europe while Carol, a former international swimmer, was enroute from England to Egypt - on her bike.
And solo adventures have been part of their married life too. Two years ago, Carol travelled around China, off the tourist trail on her own.
