The Route

Monday March 12, 2012

So the plan is to mostly follow what is know as the 'pewseys' route, which is a well-known, well planned, and quite popular route for cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats. It's main attraction being that it minimises the big hills, and follows mainly country roads, therefore minimising time spent on busier roads with fast-moving traffic.

So, below is the plan at the moment, though we are being flexible for most days... we want to be able to either cut short a day if it's not going well, or stay on the bike for longer in a day if we feel good that day.
