I have some Specialized MTB Tahoe shoes and Wellgo WPD-95B pedals.

Which Wellgo clips should I get?

Thanks,

So my husband and I are going to cycle Dunkirk to Marseille the last two weeks of August and are planning on carrying all our gear and camping.

When we did LEJOG last year, quite a few campsites were happy with us just turning up, but some we had to book well in advance.

Does anyone know if it will be the case that we'll have to book campsites in France in advance, or whether there is a likelihood we will just be able to turn up? There will just be the two of us with a small tent and bikes.

Hi,

my husband and I are planning to cycle from Calais to Montpellier over 14 days this summer, unsupported and camping along the way.

We plan to get the bike express bus back from Montpellier. Just in the process of booking it and there are various choices for travel insurance (1-10 days, 10-14days etc).

You can choose to decline their offer of insurance and use your own travel insurance - surely there will be no point in doubling up, I don't want to spend £80-100 on more insurance if I already book to cover the time we are travelling for.

Any thoughts - and any insurance recommendations?

Thanks,

Emma

Hi,

we're doing LEJOG via Lizard and Dunnet's head.

We're getting the train to Penzance and then going to Land's End first, then down to Lizard and back up to Helston. As it happens we're arriving mid afternoon on our first day so our first camping stop is going to be at Lizard Point (because of time, and hopefully to make going back up less demoralising the following morning!).

We're doing Dunnet's head on the way to John O Groats, taking the B876 from Wick up to Castletown.

As for the 'should I do it' side of things.....we're doing it because we're following a route my Dad did 20 years ago. But it is quite nice to say you've cycled the furthest points north to south in the UK, as well as the west to east.
