Done it! Post trip thoughts on my End to End

[Geoff Crowther]

So I'm back, after 1100 miles and 29 days. Never done owt like it before and it was an unmissable, unforgettable experience.
As reported earlier, I kept a blog along the way and you can read all the installments by following the link below.
Given all the stuff on there it seems a trifle OTT to be writing a trip report as such, so I've confined myself to a couple of final posts on my blog which you can read, if you're interested. The first's comments on gear I used an' the second's my post ride thoughts and feelings.
Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, if in doubt ... just do it!
Cheers

Fantastic and a great write-up!!!
I'd love to do a tour but not that far! I wouldn't go solo either.
Very well done to you - I didn't wonder how you were getting on!

Sounds like a life-changing adventure - looking forward to reading the full blog when I get time

Cheers mate and thanks for your comments on the blog. Given what I've written you'll understand the importance of interactions like that as I was travelling.

Thanks. Cycle touring's great fun. I recommend giving it a go, on your own terms. Try starting with an overnight trip like I did.

Yes, there was a bit of the "life-changing" going on. I'm certainly hooked on cycle touring. And yes, it really did feel like an adventure. Maybe not in some people's terms but, for me, it was.

This is what is so good about cycling, it can be exactly what you want it to be. A life changing adventure, transport to work, a pootle to the shops etc etc.
Good for you

All cycle touring is an adventure Geoff.
