I'd love to do it. But I am 51 and all too aware that there are a limited number of summers left to me. How many days are you thinking of taking to do the route ?? 3 weeks works out to be roughly 50 miles per day. But the more back roads you use, the longer and more lumpy the route tends to be. Als...

Would a one day, one-way car hire do the job?

It takes a bit of finding, and the wording actually renders the clause effectively worthless, but the following is extracted from the Camping & Caravanning Club "UK Club Site Policies"; 2.5 - Backpackers wherever possible will be accommodated – please advise us at the time of booking. ...

I did a Jogle this year using exactly the sort of numbers you're thinking about; I did 1160 miles over 22 days, which averages at 52 miles per day. Whilst you do need to get on your bike and ride in preparation, I found this trip was more of a mental than physical challenge. At the risk of sounding ...

Very welcome.

I've finally got round to editing and uploading the footage I shot whilst riding my Jogle in August/September. I must admit that although I felt I should get the camera out more often, I also just wanted to enjoy the trip primarily just as a cycle trip. Maybe I'll shoot more footage next time I do i...

Any people who try to make short films about their tours? Just wondering what lenses people would bring. Do they bring a separate HDD for uploading (which seems very bulky). I've finally got round to editing and uploading the footage I shot whilst riding my Jogle in August/September. I must admit t...

For my taste the biggest limitation of the system is that of the great depth of field of most images. It takes away an important part of the creative possibilities in low light. Surely the lens is more likely to be wide open in low light, reducing the depth of field? Either way, a reduced depth of ...

I quite like my Canon G15. It’s compact, has an effective 28-140mm range of focal length, manual control, and its battery can be charged via usb using a charger similar to the one above. Only available second hand now; mpb.com have a couple. 9A1819F9-19F3-4FD3-9593-AE726F8BA328.jpeg 12BCF209-A1AE-4F...

The Twin Otter aircraft used for the Barra flights has about 17 seats I think, and although I don't have personal experience of how big the baggage hold is, I'm not sure a bike would fit in it if the flight was full and other passengers had baggage. Even getting a bike through the hatches might be a...

The Millennium Time Trail.

Thanks gaz, that answers my question.

I've been home for a few days since finishing my JOGLE tour (more on that story later) and have started sorting through my photos. I saw a few decorative signposts along the way and have tried Google to find out what the circular designs (example in second image) are all about. Does anyone know? sus...

If you did fancy fish & chips in Hunstanton I can recommend Fishers, opposite the Tourist Office at the top of the green. I ‘ve been there twice in the last month and they were great on both occasions.

I will shortly unleash my excel spreadsheet of panniers in this thread I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this... :D Let it not be said that I don't deliver on a threat. I have subsequently colour coded it and attributed my scores to each colour to produce a total score (I mentioned I...
