He gave up. Realised I was better than him.... I met another guy in Gretna running south unsupported at 80k a dayIf you see this guy - give him a word of encouragement. https://www.jamesrunsfar.com/lejog-2019 He is planning on 100 miles a day, so is doing a shorter duration than you, however - he is running!
OK, I am home. Sadly only made it to Inverness. www.acrossbritain.uk. Pulled a hamstring and took a day off to rest, but realised I had many days of rest needed that I could not justify staying up there for. So car rented and drove home. Aiming to go back later in year and do a lightweight assault on the final 2-3 days
Better but there are too many variables. The Schwalbe are bigger and on 26" and aluminium bike versus the Contis on 700c and steel bike. But having tried the 28mm Schwalbes on a 700c bike previously, I ma fairly confident the Contis is a more comfy tyre. The P fairy did not visit with either on the trip.I hope you have better luck on your return.
I know you didn't get to ride them much but do you have any thoughts on the Conti's vs Marathons?
