  • Prevailing wind in the UK is a south westerly, so the odds aren't with you I'm afraid :S
    Best of luck and look forward to the pics!

  • Are you passing Bristol/Bath area? If you are I could join you for a few miles if timings are right.

  • It was alright this weekend when I did a loop in Wiltshire, so hopes are high 😂

    @eskay yes, we are and sure, it would be great! This the route around Bristol.

  • A little distance away from me, I am near Keynsham (on right of map).

  • Day 1 done, few snaps.

  • Are you making good progress?

  • Summer in NL clearly isn’t the same as in Italy…

  • still looks absolutely lovely!

  • Those clouds rolling down the hill look incredible!

  • Day 3 done… some heavy rain of course. It seems almost like a tradition now, every time I do a long distance ride, the weather is terrible.

  • About 25% (400kms) done so far 👍

  • You should do it in the summer.......!

    Pics look great but it must make for miserable riding. Great progress though.

  • Haha!

    Just over a 3rd of the way done (540kms) after 4 days. Bit drier today but still got soaked at the end.

  • When do you think you will be doing the Portishead leg?

  • All being well I reckon 5-6 days from now. I do fancy a +200km day as I’ve never done one before but I’d like it to be dry for that. We’re only getting out of Scotland tomorrow.

  • If it is Sunday there is a slim chance I could join you. I'll keep an eye on progress

  • Yesterday was dry 😎

  • good to hear you had a dry day yesterday, must have been a nice change after all the wet stuff!
    keep the pics coming.

    donated + followed etc.

  • 200kms done today. A lot of different views, have to say first part was way nicer.

  • Looks awesome and congrats on ticking off the +200kms day!

  • Cheers dude!

    @eskay I doubt we’ll be near Bristol tomorrow, probably just before. Then Portishead Monday and Land’s End around Wednesday.
    That bit from Preston to Liverpool ish yesterday killed me, by far the worst part of the journey… cycling paths, dual carriageways, stopping every 200m… yuck

    Easy 80km today.

  • No worries! Enjoy the rest of the ride and take care on those dual carriageways.
