Seeking companionship for LEJOG in mid-may 2021

Post by Steftones »

Hi, I'm going to be cycling from Lands End to John o'Groats in the middle of May 2021. It would be great to have some companionship along the way! I've been on several cycle tours in the past, including a 5000-mile tour through Asia.

I've made spontaneous plans to meet a couple of people in Inverness to do the North Coast 500 loop so that's why this forum post is such short notice. I thought I'd start from Lands End instead :)

As for myself, I usually ride between 100-120km a day, although I am easy going and totally up for doing less/more if it suits your needs. I've also planned out a route with Komoot but am willing to adapt it and discuss any options or ideas you might have. I carry a tent with me and am open to camping or staying in any other accommodation.

If you're interested, please get in touch and feel free to send me a message. It would be great to hear from you.

Thanks for reading,
Stefan

I'll just get my bike our the garage....

NC500 is on my to do list particularly the western half as I've done the east coast on my lejog!

Good luck with the trip and fair winds!

Cheers James

Um, maybe May is not a very popular time for LEJoG'ers :(

Maybe not this May if you aren't camping

Shared use accommodation (such as B&Bs) are timetable to open in England from May 17 but this may be subject to change. This is why we moved our LEJOG from May to July when hopefully all shared use will be open
