  • Re route, if you're heading west you should be well-placed to make it over gospel pass near Hay on Wye, which was potentially my favourite stretch of road from a LEJOG a few years back.

    Ok, I may reroute for this then. I was planning on linking the Shropshire Hills with Wye Valley but I could head slightly further west and over the border instead. Not sure about going that way and then coming right back across for Wye Valley, seems to add quite a few miles. It may have to be one or the other.

    I've gone for the North Coast to finish rather than inland and therefore skipping Dartmoor, however I've got Exmoor, Quantocks, Somerset Levels, Cheddar Gorge, Mendips, Wye Valley, Shropshire Hills, Forest of Bowland, Lake District, Cairngorms
    (In reverse order)

    Again, I miss the Peaks because of going West to Merseyside

  • Great route - i expect you'll get a load of people from the Archive store accompanying you on part of your ride ....!
    Your grandad looks happy there, great 80s pictures.
    I was 13 then now turning 50 and the mid life "crisis" is very much a re-evaluation of your priorities and an acknowledgement of your mortality. Not really a crisis but more a realisation that unless you believe in reincarnation this is your 1 chance at life so do stuff you've always wanted to..
    Do it with maps not GPS
