Would have liked to stay another night here as the couple who owned the campsite were charming and colourful and everything nice, but the weather was great for me so moved on. Before I left I popped down to see a lady that I met the previous day – she was due to cycle from … Continue reading
Popped into St Andrews today – what a delightful little place. Really enjoyed my toodle around there. Headed to the harbor front and climbed up the lookout point. Came through the Forestry Commission site – Tentsmuir. This was the most lovely ride possible. It was so away from roads and busy things. Was riding for … Continue reading
The first night of camping alone went fine, nobody kidnapped me, nobody pinched my bike. Calmness was in the air. I left very early to get on the road. Went through a village called Kirkcaldy – it reminded me so much of St Petersburg in Russia. There were some funny looking fields on the … Continue reading
Took me around 2 hours to get out of the city – this was the most miserable and unpleasing thing possible. So much traffic, so many roads, so many pedestrians – touring in a city is not for me – no way, not again. Just on the outskirts of Edinburgh I cycled with a chap … Continue reading
pierre helped fix my bike – talked to me about gears… its good learning a few things on the way.
‘Support Team Parents’ took me to the outskirts of Edinburgh so I could spend a few days there gathering myself together to re-plan the route and getting some bit and pieces. Was raining when I left them and it was so sad… I didn’t want to carry on with the bike ride. I wanted to … Continue reading

The route was … Continue reading
Left Amble on a brilliant full English breakfast – was the best! The journey started off nice with a good bit of sunshine smiling down – found these odd little statues made from old iron bits from the local farms. Then headed North to arrive at Springhill Campsite for before 2pm so my I could … Continue reading
Just a short ride to Amble to see how the bike felt with less weight on the bike (had stripped my panniers down to the most basic of ‘stuff’ needed). The journey was soooo well signposted. Am so impressed at the signage that has been positioned and used on the roads to direct cyclists. GPS … Continue reading
‘Support Team Parents’ helped me out big style today and to much of my appreciation took me by car the 77 miles I was due to travel up to Newcastle. We loaded up the car – packed to the most packedness it could possibly be and drove up North. They are the best! Over many conversations we … Continue reading
