Picked up a few tips off here before going so thought I should give a bit back
Myself and Brother in Law have just finished a JOGLE trip yesterday it was amazing and I recommend anyone thinking of doing it to give it a bash.
We were doing it for a local cancer charity "Sidmouth Living with Cancer' and have raised over £3000 so far.
We were lucky as we were supported by family in a camper van and had good wether bar the last day.
We did nearly 900 miles in total and averaged 129 miles a day.
Im 41 not really a cyclist (had a few too many beers and said I'd do it at Xmas) so had to buy a road bike and try and get as fit as I could for it.
I'll post a bit later of pros and cons I learnt from my experience kit and route wise but just wanted to maybe push those who are unsure if it can be done in a relatively short time without years of cycling experience
all the best
