Lands End to John O Groats planning session

There are just two weeks until we head down to the bottom of England and then cycle to the top of Scotland, so today we finally sat down and plotted each day's distance and possible campsites to stay at along the way. Still looking a little daunting aside for three easy days through Cornwall at the start and I suspect our 'break' days without cycling are likely to get gobbled up by wrong turns and inaccurate milage estimates.


We headed out on our new bikes last weekend for three days to get used to them and trial out a bunch of camping gear, realising that we can do a huge 135 km if necessary, but it is hard work, and that leather bicycle seats don't wear in immediately.

Last thing to do is figure out how we're going to document the trip - work has suggested daily postcards (to them, of course) and I like the idea of mobile blogging either with laptop or via text messages. If all of that sounds like too much there's always pen and paper...
