Taking shape

The route is beginning to look right. Starting at 6.00am on a Friday at Land's End (most end-to-enders do it this way as the prevailing winds are at your back). By sundown on Friday we'll be somewhere around Bristol, maybe into Gloucestershire.

Saturday sees us heading straight up England, running parallel to the Welsh border and making for the Lake District. With the quieter roads in Scotland we should be at JOG by the end of Sunday.

Of course, there's no actual stopping as such. Someone's going to be cycling at any time throughout the day. There will be hotel rooms at three locations, which we'll swap between teams. The concept of hot bunking has been discussed.

Apparently, it's all the rage in the submarine service.

Oops, I'd practically given up looking in here considering it'd been so long since that post in May. Mind you, it's still been a month. And although hot bunking was discussed, I daresay there weren't many takers, if any, to that particular idea.

I'm rather looking forward to watching all this take shape...make sure you're taking pics while you're busy being driver (well, not at the same time of course lol)
