About the blog.

If you like to read the last page of a book before starting on page one, just keep scrolling down.
Being a blog, this account of our trip in the summer of 2008, starts with the most recent posts first.
Much better to start at the beginning, using the archive tabs on the right - beginning with a few training runs and all the attendant niggles, doubts and worries.

The blog isn't big on maps, gradients and all the technical stuff. We followed Colin Langdon's well known Youth Hostel based route, available via the CTC website, thinking that an evening meal, a good nights sleep and a fried breakfast would be preferable to beans out of a tin and pitching a tent in a flash flood (the English Summer). We do have a few video clips by James and some cartoons by me. Hopefully, along with the posts, we've managed to capture some of the fun and adventure of this classic British tour.

Ifyou enjoyed the blog and would like to contribute to our justgiving page for Macmillan Cancer relief, we'd be grateful. There's a handy link at the right. Any comments you'd like to leave on the blog as a whole, please feel free by clicking on the comment button below. You'll need to have a googlemail account. If you can't be bothered with all that, email us at: michael.kelly18@ntlworld.com

Thanks, Mike and James.
