      A few years ago I did a 14 day bike packing trip. I don't suppose you would be able to share a link to the route it looks good as I'm planning a 7 day version so yours would be a good template to edit!

    I’ve just come across your video wow what an achievement very well done. I rode Lejog last year aged 68 it took me 14 days but the feeling when I got to the top is one I’ll never forget I was so emotional .

    Great video! Yesterday I cycled 250km, over the Lakes and into Whitehaven solo. Longest ride yet, hit Wrynose and Hardknott pass at 8.30pm…spoke to 2 people all day at coffee stops…a small group of walkers shouted good luck at the base of Wrynose and a few sheep got in my way on the way up..
    Exhilarating..humbling..lonely…worth every second even after the flat and having to find a bike shop for a new tyre in Hawes along with the 60mile headwind from the start..
    Did it on my Ribble 653 steely rather than the R5..good training for LeJog next year I say..
    Keep at it 👍

A proper Chapeau (I can recall that road as you hit the northern most coast for the first time, its a magic feeling eh) Well done mate :)

    I wonder if it is any “easier” going one way over the other? Clearly it is something that only the few can even dream of doing let alone achieve but I wonder if the direction of travel matters?

      Coming from the north you often get a headwind which makes it harder.
