Next Year's JOGLE

[Mister Loco]

I'm at the planning stage for a JOGLE next May. I'm really excited and looking forward to it but it's still over four months away. The more you think about it, the more you just want to hit the road and go.

If you went now, you would be hitting the road. This New Ice Age is going to carry on for a month or two yet.

[Mister Loco]

Fair point Mick.

[Mick F]

Yeah, hang on until March - if you can!

I plan of riding on my Circumnavigation Tour in early May. It will take me till then to get all the accommodation booked.

[Mister Loco]

How long is the journey going to take?

[Mick F]

I'm looking at two months! Far too long for a tour to be away from home for me. I may think about doing it in two halves, but travel home would be a problem.

When do you leave Mr Loco? I'm planning mine ot leave in late April and was a bit worried it would still be a bit cold by then so its good to hear someone else is planning an early Lejog!

[Mister Loco]

Hello there. I'm leaving for John O'Groats by train on or around Tuesday 3rd May. This date isn't final - I'll take a good look at the weather forecasts nearer the time before finally deciding. I'm going to follow Mick's route south for which I'm very grateful. If Mick wants to nominate a charity, I'll make a donation on his behalf. I'll be staying in b&b's and hostels both YHA and independent.

Mister Loco,
It's very kind of you to think about me and a charity, very kind indeed, and please don't concern yourself about it. Just enjoy the ride, follow my route/advice, and let us know how you get on.

My route is easy, and anyone could follow it.
