Just realised this wasn't directed at me (I'm going downstream) ,but that's my reasoning anyway.

Apols for delayed response, no notifications/change of log-in.
Decided to go upstream for a couple of reasons. Partly because I wanted to leave the most impressive scenery until the end and partly I thought it would be slightly more exercise gaining altitude along the way. Doing it this way probably made the big climb on the last day slightly easier after all the preceding miles, but it also made getting home longer and a bit of a bore on a sleeper train and daytime north sea crossing.
Hope you can get to ride it in the summer - let us know how you get on.

@FlashGordon
that sounds awesome, thinking of doing this in the coming summer, is there any reason you chose to go upstream as opposed to downstream @Peter_C ?
