Finally planned my rough route which is 15 days long. You can use the map above (in Komoot) to look in more detail at where I plan to stop each night as each has a number for the night. It is not following my exact route though as I will be using B-roads and the Sustrans National Cycle Route for most of it, the whole route version only pins the stopping points. If you want to see more about my exact route each day look at my profile on Komoot: https://www.komoot.com/user/417102468365 . I will be spending two nights in a B&B near Keswick, very close to Suprise View where we scattered Jo's ashes. The rest of it I will be camping, and camping wild where I can!
First stage done, quite a tough day with a few long hills at 15% or more which were hard work with a bike loaded with camping gear. Most people say the hills on the first day are the hardest, so feeling good that I managed it and still feeling good. It was perfect cycling weather and fantastic scenery, in particular dropping in to Mousehole and views of St Michael's mount. At the end I met up with Alice and Maisy for dinner (they were at the Eden Project for the day, just a few miles from my campsite!). Looking forward to Dartmoor tomorrow, more climbing than today but generally gentler gradients. Thanks to Alice and Maisy for dropping me off at Land's End.
Had a good test, Alice joined me for the first half hour which was great. Now tucked up warm in my tent. Other highlights: Orford Castle Cooking kedgeree in Rentlesham forest Snape maltings
