LEJOG Day 12 – Tain to John O’Groats

14th June 201810th May 2020 Harriet Leave a comment

LEJOG day 12 : we made it! Yesterday we completed our epic journey from Land’s End go John O’Groats and it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come! We’ve cycled 935.74 miles (1505.9km) in just 12 days and climbed 52283 ft (15936m) which is nearly twice the height of Everest! This time last week only […]

LEJOG Day 11 – Fort Augustus to Tain

13th June 201810th May 2020 Harriet Leave a comment

LEJOG day 11 : the day the rain came! Today we cycled 65 miles and actually climbed a little more than yesterday at 3432 ft, heading along Loch Ness and up to Tain. Arriving back at the hotel earlier than any other day at around 3 we actually felt a little guilty, having ‘only’ cycled […]

LEJOG Day 10 – Crianlarich to Fort Augustus

12th June 201810th May 2020 Harriet Leave a comment

LEJOG day 10 : foxgloves, ferns oh and some of the most breathtaking mountain scenery I think I’ve ever seen! Today was our longest (and fastest!) day yet, cycling just over 85 miles with 3317ft of elevation with an average speed of 14.7 mph. This took us halfway across Scotland from Crianlarich, through Glencoe and […]

LEJOG day 9 : along the coastline and into the Highlands! So today we cycled 75 miles, climbing 2533ft which took us up beyond Glasgow and into the Highlands! Every time I peddle I am heading further north than I have ever been before and we are still constantly amazed by how far we have […]

LEJOG day 8! Oh hello hills 👋 I hadn’t missed you! Today we cycled 77.7 miles and climbed 3837ft, crossing from Dumfries & Galloway into East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire and North Ayrshire! Today the hills were back with a vengeance, making me feel like all I said earlier in the week about getting stronger on them and […]

LEJOG Day 7 – Lake District to Dumfries

9th June 20186th June 2020 Harriet Leave a comment

LEJOG day 7. Less miles, more milestones and some reflections! So today was the big day, our day to cross the border into Scotland!! It’s my first visit and aside from getting here on the Hogwarts Express, what better way is there to arrive than by bike? Today we ‘only’ covered 65 miles and climbed […]

LEJOG day 5! 85 miles, 2881 ft of climbing and three counties! We have now cycled 403 miles in 5 days and got all the way to The North from the bottom of Cornwall just using our own legs. How amazing is that?! Today we were treated once again to bright sunshine and blue skies […]

LEJOG Day 4! What a day! 3 counties, 79.5 miles, and 4213 ft of climbing and we’re now in Shropshire! It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in just 4 days and all powered by our own legs (and copious amounts of cake!). Today started with the BEST surprise, a completely unexpected visit from […]

LEJOG Day 3 – Wellington to Quedgeley

5th June 20185th June 2020 Harriet Leave a comment

Day three was a tough day on the bike.  I’d heard before the trip that Devon and Cornwall would be some of the toughest days and having got through all those hills I thought that it would be a little easier from then on.  It turns out I was a little wrong, the hills certainly […]

Loving all the blossom everywhere at the moment! 😍 A wet, grey start to the day today, but the blossom was out and looking pretty and we spotted our favourite robin, coots, cormorants and the crested grebe again this morning too! Thanks for these lovely winter (and now spring) mornings of swim chat @sarah.spruytenburg.ss !

Beautiful day for a walk in the Cotswolds with @mw Beautiful day for a walk in the Cotswolds with @mwwise!  21kms taking in the countryside in the autumn sunshine, looking at the roll wright stones and making friends with a very tame squirrel. Just wish we’d worn shorts instead of trousers as it was so warm!
