...I'm off on tour tomorrow morning. It's my first tour so i am going to take it easy and spend time riding all over east anglia. I have a full touring camping load. I know B&B's are available but I dont have much cash, and I also am using this as a practice tour for bigger and better things to come. ...as well as losing a few more pounds I hope to gain a load of experience.

Weather forcast for the weekend is 100% Cr%p...oh well...it wouldn't be a proper English tour if it wasn't I suppose.:ohmy:

I think the load is a little heavier than I would like as well...but I am at a loss as to what to leave behind....so if anybody feels like following me up a few hills they'll be sure to pick up a few ditched bargains as I chuck stuff out on the way up cursing and huffing, cussing and puffing...:ohmy:!

Ok...so...I'll post again in a couple of weeks if I survive:biggrin:

If anybody is up that way and sees a big guy on a loaded bike with bright orange panniers...chances are that'll be me so say hello if you like!

Adios amigos

Are the two not mutually exclusive? :ohmy:

Have fun! My first tour was from York to Happisburgh, so although I haven't ridden in East Anglia since, it has happy memories for me. Just remember, if you're going east, stop when you get to the edge!

Good luck

...well I am back! Got in last night. This was a real 'adventure' for me....including some really crap weather, some excellent weather, camp sites, a hostel, a b&b, and wild camps on the beach, free meals, rip off lbs, Irish catholic invasion, you name it I had it....(except any major bike damage). My longest day in the saddle was yesterday when I clocked 146km in ten hours with the full load and the wind against me (as always!)...so I am knackered at the moment! I will post up some more info and some pics asap....got to get unpacked and sleep a bit first.
