Swindon probably isn't on any sensible route, but let me
know if you're passing. We do have a spare room and lots of
bike tools!

Manchester has a floor and beer too.

I second the request for a report at the end of it too - I'm
vaguely intending to do a LEJOG this year so am looking to
learn from other peoples mistakes ;-)

mistakes ;-)

My biggest mistake was to cycle through Glasgow. Without
doubt the invective and aggression from drivers made it
*the* least pleasant day of the trip.

Next most significant mistake was to underestimate the
unending uppy-downiness of Devon - too little space to hit a
rhythm, never in the right gear.

Ditto Walsall.

What? You've got other places to stay in the area?
Never mind.

I've got a spare Psion Series 5 if you need one for your
journey, but it's a touch battered. Or a Newton.

As usual there will be an almost daily report thanks to
mobile phone and Psion series 5.

I think i may have already made a big mistake in going
north to south. But hey, it's more practical for getting
home afterwatds,and I'll be in Birmingham around my
mum's birthday.

Pros: you're stronger for the nightmare that is Devon and
Cornwall (unless you stick to the A30, which is flat or
rolling, but suicidal). Easier to get back from Penzance in
the evening.

Cons: you could have a headwind for the whole trip.

That is indeed one of my afterthoughts, along with the sun
in my eyes for the majority of the day (so long as it
doesn't [censored] down in Scotland).

Head down the east coast then.. With a careful bit of route
planning you can cross some of the highest passes in UK
(glen shee or cairn o' mount). Then you can keep to the East
all the way down till you really need to move across.

I'd agree that Swindon isn't on any sensible route, from
anywhere..

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't have a detailed
route-plan.

Having never been a believer in travelling light, I
weighed my kit. Excluding myself andf the bike, my luggage
weighs 37Kg.

Go for it. Enjoy yourself, you make me envious after
planning and postponing my LE:JOG twice due to employers
insolvency.

Like Rich really wants to experience that with 37kg of
luggage!
