Explore. Dream. Discover

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour and catch the wind in your sails.

JOGLE MY JUGS & CALL ME JULIE

 It’s Monday 24th April and Friday’s departure date is rapidly approaching. My plan to cycle from John O Groats to Lands End, contemplated and planned after I returned from France last year, is about to become a reality! 

I may not complete it as one trip and I’m not fundraising for charity…so why am I doing it? Over the next few weeks I’m sure I’ll find many reasons why and probably several as to why I shouldn’t have done

So today marks the day when I start gathering my bits and pieces and packing the panniers. On Friday I will collect my rental van from Cardiff, load the bike & luggage and head north, stopping in Preston, Perth and hopefully arriving in Wick on Sunday night. Monday May1st is D Day, leaving the van in Wick and heading to Thurso via John O Groats. 

My intention is to update the blog with the details of the journey when I’m able to …laters!
