We didn’t set an alarm this morning as we didn’t want to leave the very comfortable bed at Steve’s and so we just woke when we did and we hobbled down the stairs to be greeted with mugs of tea and cereal 🙂 WIN!!!! We chatted at the table and I was asking more questions about kites as I am itching […]
Please take a look at our 1500 mile journey through Scotland, England and Wales. We are not cyclists, but we love to cycle. Please sit back and follow our journey of ups, downs and funny moments.
Day Thirteen 31:07:12 A Whole lot of Nothing
We had planned to be up and out early today but we were just faffing about and not really too fussed about the time, which we should have been as we had a fair few miles to cover and we knew it was bound to be hilly as the journey to Macclesfield was all pretty […]
Day Twelve 30:07:12 Maccy Magic
Seeing as my sister had very kindly put us up for the night we decided to spend the day just relaxing and catching up as we don’t see each other very often. Myself and Jane decided to have a well deserved lie in and didn’t get out of bed till gone 10 and the first […]
Day Eleven 29:07:12 The Long Way Down
Today we were leaving Lake Windermere to get to my sisters house in Macclesfield and it was about a 100 mile cycle trip which we were unsure if we were going to make. We have know idea what the roads were going to be like so we may well be staying somewhere on route. We […]
Day Ten 28:07:12 The Kirkstone Pass
We woke up late as the B&B owner said we could take as much time as we liked especially after the horrendous day before and that was before we had got on the beers. We went down for breakfast at about 09:30 and we were welcomed by some other guests and one of the best full English […]
Day Nine 27:07:12 The Long Way Round
After a rough night in the hostel we headed down for breakfast and we were greeted by green eggs and grey baked beans. I decided to give the cooked breakfast a miss and stick the coco pops and warm milk followed by cold toast…. Oh yes I kid you not. We still had not paid […]
Day Eight 26:07:12 Hello England
So today we got up early as we had a big day ahead of us. But with our luck the day did not start to plan. Dan had a puncture before our bums even hit the saddle, this delayed us and we ended up not setting off till 8:30! We were running low on our […]
Day Seven 25:07:12 Rolling Hills
Today started off really well. We awoke at Caspers to an easy start to the day. Breakie on the sofa while watching tv, Dan trashing the toilet and good convo to start the day. We then slowly started to get ready (we were very comfy and relaxed) and eventually left the flat around 9.30am. Casper […]
Day Six 24:07:12 To Caspers We Go…
So we woke up bright an early and after all of our clothes and trainers were dry we were in good spirits for a good days peddling. We needed to get to a Post Office to get rid of some excess weight as we now know what we dont need and so my little sister […]
Day Five 23:07:12 Two Drowned Rats
We were up bright and early and were down for breakfast at just after 7. I went for the healthy option today and just had cereal and toast along with a yoghurt and a banana. We were heading towards Glasgow today with the hope to get to the outskirts and then tomorrow get through Glasgow and sleep […]
