This IS me BTW....I resisted the thought of putting up a nice gruesome post op shot and settled for something more palatable 
Fit to tour?

how you going about it camping or b&b/ hostel?
I wild camped in some fairly strange places never got caught though just used camp sites when i was desperate for warm water.
The thing you have to do is ignore the fact that after the first 2 days of rain every mortal part of your body will tell you to go home but stick it out once i got over the 3 day thing it was amazing saw some fantastic places.
HIlls can be nasty with weight i maneged to set of with about 15 kg which was to much on reflection but if things got silly i just walked to be honest.
Bring a good book too that made nights easier.

Well what am I doing wrong! I am on third ride this week but also third ride this year. The hills have got steeper and it feels like the brakes are on. I guess it must only get better.

Hehe....do check the brakes....my husband was cycling in the Peaks last year and slogging up a hill like a Grandpa. We couldn't work out why he was so slow...until he realised his brakes were somehow still on!!
