Left ‘Support Team Parents’ fairly early, had a 40miles ride ahead – did not feel too worried about it, but then the wind…ohhh the wind – it is so difficult to cycle with the weight of the panniers along with battling the wind – it is rubbish having to actually cycle downhill. 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
The day had arrived to leave home. Had a late night getting all my bits sorted and was really quite tierd but confident that had done as much as i could have done to be on the way. Left home around 9am and made good timing to Whitby, along the ‘railway track’ – felt … Continue reading
I have been very fortunate to be loaned and given some bits and pieces to go away with as I had never expected that the costs involved in something like this would be so much. Coming back to the UK after all of the change is really bad, I never remember things being so … Continue reading
I love it, I love it!!! ohhhh my goodness, it is so much more comfortable to ride than the road bike. I feel like I’m floating and well (whether this is my head) but I feel more of lady sitting more up-right, (must remember to take my Chanel for days when I’m looking like a … Continue reading
How exciting the first fitting of ‘something’ to my bike. Today marked a momentous occasion. I fitted a bottle cage! A friend gave me some old bits and pieces – and ok a small bit of tape was needed to hold it together, but I kind of like the memory now and will make me … Continue reading
This had been my no no no no never on the trip. Why did I have to fly when it can be done by ferry’s. But apparently not anymore – they have withdrawn the ferry services crossing over to Norway. As it is the Scandinavian countries that I’m doing the North Sea Cycle Route for, … Continue reading
This railway track has some fond memories and it is actually part of the North Sea Cycle Route. It’s funny as we were just discussing ‘the GPS’ again and all the if’s and but’s and possible’s surrounding it. However, all we have been thinking about in terms of finding out how good this device is … Continue reading
