This was taken the weekend we decided to do this trip….perhaps we were all alittle crazy back then, but riding the length of Britain seemed like such a good idea to us three amigos at the time. Now, with just a few days to go, as I lay out all my kit out in the lounge, wondering how it will all fit in my panniers* ( and how I’m going to move my bike when they are on) i am beginning to feel the reality of it all and I’m feeling somewhat nervioso… lets hope that being a bit loco is the key factor to succeeding this ride….!

*Panniers = bike bags “I’m not a geek, just practical…” Isn’t that right Miss Whittle….!
