LEJOG or JOGLE can be done cheaply or with more expense. What are people's experience of the costs they incurred or for which they are budgetting?
My LEJOG (9 days, solo unsupported, 1000 miles) cost ~£800 (£700 below plus tyres, brake blocks, cleats, cables, chain - ie consumables). I have not included cycle related items ie to get the bike completely 'fit' for the trip (30) and bags to carry the (small) load (40), or spares various, or the clothing I bought (150), all of which to some measure or other have seen hundreds of miles' use since.
