The Long Good Route

So then, the route is pretty much decided - this has proved one of the most difficult things to organise so far.

The route we have settled on has taken some time to compile, it has taken some time because we have both wanted the route to be scenic but yet at the same time not a massive 4 week tour of Britain (mainly because the ladies in our lives wouldn't let us escape for this long!).

We have had to factor in several things like avoiding main roads where possible, campsite/b&b locations plus we wanted to take in iconic places like Dartmoor, Cheddar Gorge and Bealach na Ba (which for those of you that don't know boasts the greatest ascent of any road climb in the UK). Unfortunately most of the iconic places seem to involve a lot of cycling uphill....

So here is the route in fine detail (Some small lanes will be changed as no doubt we'll discover a lack of tarmac in places!):
