For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to cycle from the furthest North East part of the UK, John o’ Groats, back home to London. The plan is to do as much as possible off-road, only using lanes and small roads where there is no other option. I am going to be using everything from Bridal-ways and bike trails up to where possible going completely across country. I estimate that the whole thing will take me approximately 2 weeks with a daily distance of somewhere between 40 and 60 miles, but will only really find out once I get going.
My Accommodation will be a light and small 1 man tent, camping wild for the majority of the trip (especially in Scotland). Everything I need will be packed into a 38 litre back pack and a handlebar bag, this has meant that I have only packed the bare minimum.
It would be great if you could show appreciation of my insanity by donating some dosh to Do The Green Thing. They do some great work in spreading the word about sustainable living in a pretty interesting way. They use creative work including animation, short films, audio and writing to spread simple ideas on how we can all help in our own small way. . You can find out more at dothegreenthing.com.
