ReplyDeleteThen on Tues 3/8/10 I'm leaving John O'Groats early by cycling 15 miles to Wick to catch the 8.15am to London (arriving 21.30) then the 22.30 from London to arrive in Norwich 00.47 - and so I should be home around 2am - which is just as well because I'm going on holiday later that day!!
John, you know I've done this myself, but i had a companion. I am full of admiration for you for attempting this on your own.
ReplyDeleteThree tips for your journey.
1.Get as much sleep as possible each night.
2.Eat lots and eat quality, and then eat some more!
3.The first day in Devon n Cornwall will be hella tough, but don't worry it gets easier. Believe!
