We leave our B&B and and we are heading towards Shaftsbury and we going along some very windy roads where as always the traffic was overtaking too close but still be carried on and flicking the occasional ‘V’ at passing traffic. I started to feel really ill and as if my eyes were going to […]

It was a frantic start to the day today as both myself and Jane wanted to go to different places so we agreed we would go our seperate ways and meet up by midday so that we can get what we wanted to get done without wasting any of each others time. So what did […]

We were once again up early and leaving the Travelodge without eating and I suddenly had the urge to cycle down the corridor of the Travelodge… why? I am not sure but what a buzz that was 🙂 But the sun was shining and there were blue skies…. Todays route took us along the the […]

We are up and out of the Travelodge very early today as we were not getting breakfast so there was no need to wait around so we just pushed on out of Merthyr. Remember all of those hills we bombed down on the way into Merthyr? Well we had to climb our way out of […]

We had planned for this to be our day of rest but because we do not want to stiffen up we like to put a few miles on the clock. So I decided that I should have the full English fry up as it was our day off. As always it was fantastic and cooked […]

The plan for today was to get to Brecon which is in the Brecon Beacons National park. This was very much out of the way from heading south to Lands End however I wanted to see the beacons so that was that and we were off. We leave Worcester and we start cycling up lots […]

We chatted at the table and I was asking more questions about kites as I am itching […]

We had planned to be up and out early today but we were just faffing about and not really too fussed about the time, which we should have been as we had a fair few miles to cover and we knew it was bound to be hilly as the journey to Macclesfield was all pretty […]

Seeing as my sister had very kindly put us up for the night we decided to spend the day just relaxing and catching up as we don’t see each other very often. Myself and Jane decided to have a well deserved lie in and didn’t get out of bed till gone 10 and the first […]

Today we were leaving Lake Windermere to get to my sisters house in Macclesfield and it was about a 100 mile cycle trip which we were unsure if we were going to make. We have know idea what the roads were going to be like so we may well be staying somewhere on route. We […]
