why

in 2009 with the loss of so many friends and mum,i decided that time had come to realise a dream,cycling end to end,but at near on 20 stone everyone thought i was crazy,a visit to the doctors had welcomed results with the advise not to diet ,take the training steady and eat a sensible heathy diet,and get regular checks with them from time to time,

out on the bike it was murder on my rear too much weight pressing down on such a small area,

the answer A RECUMBENT TRIKE ! and boy was it welcome.because i want to enjoy it 50 mile a day has been planned(20ish days)i have decided the only way i could afford it was to cycle camp,rough and ready but cheap

due to the length of the trip it will also be solo and un assisted,told you i was crazy

Day 4


Sat in a wooden camping pod. Still on track Both me and Kellie feel the 50 mile a day dragging full camping equipment is fine. Both enjoying the hard work. Talked to Matt at work today thanks for running things in my absence but a dream is a dream and so few people get a chance like you have given me. Big cheer and to Julie for humoring my obsession. Will do proper blog when finished as having to use phone is hard work.

    What is a wooden camping pod? The mind boggles.

    Ah ha found out. Thanks for the picture MG.
    These are essentially wooden tents and are designed for ‘Camping for the 21st century’. All you need to do is bring your sleeping bags, food, tea and coffee etc. Blow up mattresses, chairs, plates, cutlery, mugs, stove, cooking utensils and a table are provided. There is also light and heaters in the Pods and they are well insulated.
    And finally, no wet tents to take down at the end of the trip! What more could you ask?
