Cycling from Bristol to Land’s End

I’ve just got back from a great cycling trip, from Bristol to Land’s End. Myself and Manoj mostly followed Sustrans cycle routes, cycled about 30 to 40 miles a day, taking 12 days to travel over 350 miles. We camped and carried all of our kit on our bikes.

Yes, I’d do it all again. But maybe in the other direction. And for longer…

More details to follow, but first I must try and make a video of the trip… Hmm, ok, so the video is bigger, and taking longer than I expected. So, here are a few shots from the trip:

: Our first day’s camp, nr Bradford-upon-Avon

: Here we are, looking happy to have made it to Glastonbury Tor

: By this time my knees were busted, but it was too late, I was addicted to Tiger Balm

: Our first sight of the sea – Woolacombe Bay in the distance

: On the Tarka trail approaching Bideford

: We passed by the spectacular Eden Project

: We only had one really wet day. There were big winds and people’s tents were destroyed. But we plodded on unharmed

: Woohoo! nearly there…

: Wow, what a let down. The beautiful views have been spoiled by this abomination. The waves were drowned out by the sound of machines making dalek noises. Very disappointing.
