Fundraising for British Heart Foundation
Story
At the beginning of August I have decided to embark on a culinary cycling adventure across Britain. I will be cycling an average of 40 miles a day and stopping off at producers, cafés, restaurants and forests to discover Britain’s hidden food gems and cook along the way.
The plan is to start at Lowestoft from the furthest possible point East of England
and travel across to the most Westernly point in St David’s Head, Wales; details
are below.
The complete journey will be done solely by myself, but the intention is that
friends, family, and anyone else can join me for a day or several if they so wish,
so ask around if you know anyone who would/could join in! I will be raising
money for the British Heart Foundation whilst I cycle in memory of my father
as we both love cooking and entertaining alot!
The exact details of times, places etc will be nearer the date, however for now,
anything in bold is a definite stopover and the others will probably change:
05.08.12 Lowestoft – Thetford [via Stradbroke for a visit to my Aunty at the farm!]
– approx 54 miles … 4.22 hours
06.08.12 Thetford – Cambridge – approx 2.9 miles … 2.39 hours
07.08.12 Cambridge – Steppingley* - 35 miles … 2.49 hours
08.08.12 Steppingley* - Oxford – 43.7 miles … 2.56 hours
09.08.12 Oxford – Cirencester – 36.5 miles … 2.56 hours
10.08.12 Cirencester – Bristol – 35.9 miles … 2.54 hours
11.08.12 Bristol – Patchway station – 6.4 miles … 31 minutes
Train from Patchway – Severn Tunnel Junction – 11 minutes [this is to avoid cycling on
the motorway!]
Severn Tunnel Junction – Abergavenny* - 23.5 miles … 1.54 hours
12.08.12 Abergavenny* - Dyffryn Ceidrych* - 44.7 miles … 3.36 hours
13.08.12 Dyffryn Ceidrych* - Saundersfoot* - 42 miles … 3.23 hours
14.08.12 Saundersfoot* - The End!! St David’s head as far to the sea as possible!
– 35 miles … 2.49 hours
And if you know any places that I can visit along the way please let me know!
