Safari room is a standard wind out Fiamma awning and sides are from

I have the front to go with them. Great to give some privacy but only take minutes to put up or down.
I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my wobbly bog brush using hovercraft full of eels

Hope to arrive mid / late afternoon. Happy to join everyone for meal but we will have two small (well behaved) dogs with us. If they're welcome (they always have been) we'll be there.

Wimps who are doing the Durham ride will cross the Winston road Bridge,partway across there is a model of a spitfire on the bridge wall.
There is a video clip of a Spitfire being flown under the bridge on utube. If you are interested google Spitfire Winston Bridge

A Damp Day in Durhamshire.
But it didn't dampen the spirits.
Good company. Good route. Good views sometimes.
How about the guy we caught up with who had done E2E accidentally.
He had been on the road since April and had cycled all round the coast, Scottish Islands, Ireland & Iceland etc. Pity we didn't get a photo.

Not sure how to post on here so trying this. I am doing the LEJOG in stages. Starting on Thursday 5th October 2017 from Lands End to Taunton. Getting train to Penzance on Wednesday 4th October and staying overnight before setting off and returning to the North East on Monday 9th October.
Anyone interested in joining me. I'm booking B&Bs on route.

Hi Dave,
Not sure if I'll be available, but I could be.
No promises.
What is your route?
