The day started with us all sat in the breakfast area in the hotel at 7am as the very kind hotel owner said that she would come down early so that we could get a full breakfast as we were not to leave the hotel on an empty stomach which was very very nice of […]
After recovering from Dengue Fever, I set myself a challenge, and that was to cycle John O'Groats to Lands End, but that challenge was not enough. So we decided to add 500 extra miles to our trip, and here you will follow us on this journey through England, Scotland and Wales.

Day 22 09:8:12 The Wicked Witch Of The West
The plan for today was to get to Plymouth to see one of my forum moderators and friend for the last 5 or so years and his family. We only had about 40 miles to get through, and so we decided to take a relaxing morning and lay in bed and generally try to catch […]
Day Twenty One 08:08:12 Dejavu
We woke up and were ready to leave Justins house by about 07:30 after we had a cup of tea and of course, some breakfast which was croissants. Perfect! Cycling back up the hill again after cycling down it yesterday was a little strange, and it made a start to a very slow day. The […]

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 […]

Day Seventeen 04:08:2012 Travelodge to Travelodge
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 […]
Day Sixteen 03:08:2012 Hills, Sheep and Beacons
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 […]
