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

tuesday 17 may.day 4 jogle 2011



sun!what a suprise cooking breakfast in the sunshine,the group of cyclists doing lejog who were camped along side, were up and gone around 6am.we tendered to have a little more laid back approach especially with it been sunny



1st day of sunshine and kellie was suffering hay fever,not helped by following a tractor grass cutting for about 2 mile.so no sooner had we set off then we had to stop for her to take medication.dingwall station tea rooms,tea cake and tablets.tramadol for my knee as it was still playing up



a long climb up over the hill then a massive drop in to drumnadrochit.and the banks of loch ness.as we were having tea and more cake the rains strarted,we decided to head for a campsite we had stayed at about 12 years ago on the banks of loch ness.head winds all the way down the A82



on arrival at loch ness campsite we were informed the no longer take tents but offered a hobbit hut



dinner was a throw it all in a pan.pasta cooked in soup with sweet corn,roast beef,onions mmmm well it filled a hole,washed down with a bottle from the camp office

today was gemma my other daughters birthday,funny the last time we visited loch ness it was for gemmas 16th birthday.how time flys.43 miles hard going strong head winds all day.but still managed 7.5 mph,the hobbit was welcome shelter from the wind and rain.A82 is a horrid road traffic travelling far too fast for such a lovely road along the banks of ness.still about an hour behind time as we were supposed to be in fort augustus.
