Thanks Jackie.Congratulations Geoff on finishing your LEJOG. I followed your blog each day with great interest. I did post several times, but for some unknown reason they did not appear apart from the first one. Seeing some of your photos bought back many memories of my trip last year. I can agree with many of your points especially about completing it alone. There are some pretty lonely times, but I think this also encourages you to interact with people around you more than you would if completing it with others. The people you meet along the way are amazing. I think starting in Scotland meant I completed the bleaker areas before the being alone feeling really kicked in, and by the time I was really missing company I was in the more built up areas of the Midlands and Southern UK. I was pretty lucky with the weather and apart from Hurricane Bertha, I was never really cold.
Look forward to reading reports of any future trips you may complete. I am hoping to do a trip of some sort this summer, but not the expedition of last year.
Cheers Ben.Well done Geoff, I'd been wondering how it went. It was great to see you in Clitheroe and thanks for the beer. I have never done a long solo road trip but I have done solo motorcycle touring in constantly bad weather and I know what you mean about the cold, the wet, the loneliness and the need to keep up morale. In those days there were no mobile phones and I was unmarried!
Thank you Sam. Yes, seems decades ago.Congrats Geoff!
It seems like ages since we saw you in Clitheroe!
Thanks Stevie, kind words indeed. Glad to hear you enjoyed my ramblings.Well done Geoff what an achievement, i was a keen follower of your blog along the way and really enjoyed reading each post, 1 day i hope to do it myself. Truely inspiring![]()
