This is my route, if I don’t get lost. I have altered my original route a little so it is now 915 miles. I’m aiming to get to Lands’ End on the last day between 5 pm and 6 pm on Tuesday 17th May. I’d love to see you there, if you live nearby and can make it.
For each day there is a link to Bike Route Toaster - click on the date. This is online software that allows you to see the planned route for that day. You can increase and decrease the scale depending on how much detail you want to see. The software is free and sometimes you will click on the link and not get a map. I think this is because the site is overloaded with visitors. If that happens, just try again later. The links definitely do work.
I’ve included my proposed route for the last day, but, because I know the area so well, I may take a slightly different route, but still ending at Lands’ End, of course!
On paper the hardest day looks like Sunday May 8th – a long day with a lot of climbing.
I intend to post to this blog each day while I'm cycling - energy and internet connections willing.
