Some friends and I who first met in 2009 when we took part in the first Folding Bike Challenge from London to Paris got together last autumn to cycle Coast to Coast. Nice one, did that, had the T shirt (literally). "what next" was the discussion over a bottle or two and an Italian meal. We settled for LE2JOG in stages (too busy to take lots of time out and we wanted to make it enjoyable ...).
So, we cycled the first stage (3 Bromptons, 3 Dahons and a Bike Friday) over 4 days the scenic route ... Got lost, abandoned NCN routes after some frustrations, took 300 miles (which included the bike ride from Penzance to Lands End Youth Hostel). Learned a few lessons (apart from NCN avoidance) which were "don't trust sat navs"


Next stage set for late September 2012 ... Bristol going north or "The road to Wiggan Pier".
