Here are a few I loved on my LEJoG Duchy House in Princetown Dartmoor is fantastic. Great people and great breakfast. Excellent pub up the road for an evening meal. Cheers View Farm Somerton is fantastic although you have to travel to eat dinner. Unbelievable breakfast. Cycling past Tintern Abbey be...

I did LEJoG last year with my brother at the end of July although we did a few more miles overall. I had a training plan like yours but by the end of May it had gone out of the window due to work. We did it unsupported and we both found it tough physically but the hardest bit is the mental toughness...

I booked all of ours before hand, most of it through Booking.com and three through the YHA website. Through Booking.com I booked it with the ability to change it up to 24 hours before which was a good thing because we change our route in Scotland. This worked really well though. Some of the YH in th...

NO!!!! There are roads to that more or less follow to the side which are much nicer going through Evanston, Dingwall to name a few.

My dynamo charger packed in half way through a tour. I now use an Anker charger although it is a bit heavy but it charges my phone and garmin quite a few times. However, I would agree with you that one of the main reasons for touring is to get away from lots of gadgets that need charging.

Having had a look at the roads on google maps now, I am planning to be doing the northern route in 3 days and starting slowly with 3 50 mile days (JoG > Bettyhill > Invershin > Inverness), rather than heading down the A99... That is a great route. Nice easy days with that distance. Look out for the...

I am going to do this next year.

Thats what I love about this forum. You post a silly questions like can you do a 4/5 day Lejog and there are enough nutters who have either done it or been involved in it. Not only have they answered the question but they have planned the route, given you a training plan and told you everything else...

They were Schwalbe but not marathons. They probably should have been changed before we started.

I recently did LeJoG on my VSF Fahrrad TX400 with M+ on. My brother had different tyres on his bike and had four punctures, I had none. I do think they drag a little but I was happy not to get any punctures.

I had a great coffee in there two weeks ago towards the end of my LeJog. We had a good chat with a few others who were in there as well.

Well done

I've just cycled LeJoG on on a VSF T400 without the Rohloff and it is a great bike that is comfortable all day and can carry lots of kit.

You could cycle up to Tongue, past Cask Inn, where there is a great hostel and then cycle to JoG the next day. The route is very quiet, very scenic and the hostel is fab.

This is a carbon road bike with no rack fixings. The rack is fitted through a a special hub on the back wheel, not sure if thats what it is called. It cost about £80 fitted at the LBS. On my tour last year two of my friends, this is one of them, used them.
