Thoughts on Proposed LEJOG Route

Just in time for the rain here! Still, it is probably more comfortable than last week's savage heat...

Got soaked last night near Bridgewater.
Better this morning

Somerset Levels are a welcome antidote to Devon & Cornwall

It rained very heavily this afternoon repeatedly.

By time I put on waterproofs it stopped raining, but roads flooded.

Changed routing today and slogged it up A38 nearly all day. Thoroughly enjoyed the faster roads, even with more traffic

Made it to Kendal and about to start the ascent of Shap Fell.

The one bit of the ride I have nightmares about.


Wish me luck this afternoon.

Its appropriate its on the anniversary of D Day that I face my biggest challenge

Shap wasn't that hard tbh. Cornwall and Devon were worse!
