Well hell we have only just gone and cycled from Lands End to John O Groats!! What a trip! I had a bad nights sleep last night, still recovering from the trauma of yesterday! It will take me a while to get over it! The Premier Inn in Thurso was very busy so we couldn’t…

Today , has tried to break me! From the onset!! A scorcher or a morning in Alness, we had breakfast at 7am and I was getting ready to rumble!I was going to re pressure my tire, but the valve blew out and I had a weee panic! Easily fixed, but a drama no less! Leaving…

The days are running out quickly, and today was to be a shorter day which was welcomed. After yesterdays long day and the trepidation of the long hilly one to come tomorrow! I had a very good nights sleep in the Great Glen Hostel, as the youngest of us 3 ladies I took one for…

I don’t normally look forward to cycling in the roads on Mull that I cover often and know well, but I was very much looking forward to cycling the road today from Inveraray. The stay in the Inveraray Inn was very hot, but a hearty fish breakfast was going to set me in good stead!…

What can I say, we are 2/3rds of the way there!! It’s been a really relaxed and stunning day! The Park Hotel in Kilmarnock did not disappoint , dinner was the best yet and I fell into a food coma last night and was in bed early! Breakfast was from 7am and cooked to order…

Day 7 arrived and we were all delighted that the breakfast in the hotel was better than dinner the previous night! We don’t know what happened last night but after pre ordering our choices , we still hadn’t had our dinner by 10pm! When it did arrive, nobody wanted to eat it and there was…

And just like that we are a little over half way!!!!!!!! Holy schmoly, I was never convinced this would happen!! What a day, after yesterday, the scenery and roads have been amazing. I woke in Preston this morning to the sound of rain and thunder!! We had breakfast at 7am as we could not have…

Well, day 5 has been hot! Our hottest temperature registered was 35 degrees . We left the hotel North of Shrewsbury at 8.30am this morning as we only had 75 miles to cover. It was muggy and overcast and thunder and lightning was forecast and I hoped to cycle quick enough to avoid it. We…

Today has been a tough day! Chepstow to Shrewsbury , well Harmer Hill which is 8 miles north of Shrewsbury! The day started off with an uphill , and continued with 6000ft plus of them! That is twice the height of Ben More on Mull, spread out over 98.1 miles! Thanks to El Ninio, the…

Pretty epic day today! Weather was stunning, the legs were still working after yesterday and we had a flat morning which was a delight! A couple of small ups as we left Taunton, but we set off slightly earlier at 8am and the traffic was not too bad! We passed through many towns, Petherton and…
