Spent hours yesterday trying to get a route through the East Midlands that tied up with campsites or youth hostel accommodation. We are trying to keep to off-road routes as much as possible on our East-of-Pennines route but hopefully I have now got a solution. There were a few campsites but when you look at their websites you find it is caravan only or in one case a naturist site ! Another one had a great view of Drax power station, hmm just a tad too far east then.
Once the Derby to York bit was done, the route northwards was very straightforward and we now have a total of 23 cycling days. So far I have planned 2 rest days though there are three days of around 30 miles. The longest day is 75 miles.
Last weekend managed to rip a popper off the zip storm flap on my jacket. What a blow as I this is otherwise a great jacket. It's a Keela Odin which sadly they do not make anymore. I phoned them up so they are going to see if they can repair it. Forgot I would need to clean it first so sending it off this morning.
Oh well off to the shops now as I'll need something to wear in the meantime.
The other thing I did yesterday was my Just Giving page.
I am going to raise funds for MS research, so if you feel like helping this worthy cause and giving me added reason to complete this adventure I would be very grateful.
Just type in Summers Lejog 2014, or even just Summers and you will find my page is one of the options.
Thank you.
