Back home again and taking it easy. Just worked out that we have cycled just over half way - 561.54 miles to be exact and 520 miles left. We will do the other half next September. First get my knees back to normal. Won't take long.
On reflection the route we took in Scotland in 2011 was less hilly and more straight forward, however this years route was more beautiful and the scenery was awesome.
The point to make though is, that the only and most sensible way to do an End to End is to have support or be part of a team who will support you with all your luggage and organising. Most riders we met en route do just that. They carry nothing. They can then cycle of course 100 miles or so a day. Also, they often take the A roads which are dangerous, even more so with a heavy laden bike. So, to sum it all up it takes a lot of working out when you make a decision on the course you want to take. Any would be End to Enders read as much as possible on people's blogs in order to make your choice.
