30 years ago I cycled from John o' Groats to Land's End and I want to discover if I can still complete do a similar journey.  I will be starting early every morning to avoid some of the heat in Malaysia and unlike my UK trip I am expecting constant sun shine. 

As there are routes that follow the shore line it is possible to avoid some of the hills that reduces the speed of a touring bike, with all my baggage, to walking pace. 

My goal is to average about 12 miles per hour so 7 hours a day in the saddle should keep me on track.
