Thank you Rob,
Regarding the transportation I will consider Weymouth as the last stop.

Re: UK Cycling Tour
Good day,
This is all very helpful and much appreciated. For your curiosity, I am from a place called Winnipeg, smack dab in the middle of Canada on the eastern edge of the vast prairies. It is very ugly, flat and cold, but a good place to live if you enjoy wide open spaces, bugs in the summer, hockey in the winter and always terrible roads. I am using my 40th birthday as an excuse to do this trip and so far the boss at home (wife) has agreed. I consider myself to be quite fit and I hope to be as fit in a couple of years when I embark on this trip. I'm a hardy guy and weather (and hills) doesn't stop me. Here in Canada my idea of a vacation is two weeks in the bush with the bugs, bears, fishing gear and a canoe.
I have been doing some Google research and the Lon Las Cymru trail is the route I am leaning towards at this point in time. I'll be doing this trip on a budget and so I plan camping for the duration of the trip. As for distances travelled per day, not sure yet, but I consider myself a hard charger and quite frankly besides sitting in a pub I like to move. I like the Idea of doing the Lon Las Cymru North to South, then Bristol to Lyme Regis. Any comments?
Again many thanks,
RWC.

UK Cycling Tour
Greetings,
I live in Canada and I am planning a 2 week touring trip somewhere in the UK sometime in the next couple of years. most likely late summer 2018. I haven't a clue where abouts I want to go and so I am looking for some help in deciding upon a route. I am looking for a picturesque, rustic trip with more countryside than city streets. I want a route that is challenging, scenic and where I might be able to take in some culture (a pint a night is a goal of mine as well). I am looking for the lesser known roads with the least amount of traffic as possible. Also, I'll be considering renting a bike and accessories as travelling with Bike and equipment may be a challenge.
Thank you in advance for your considerations,
RWC.
