UK + Ireland Tour
My Tour Date is getting awfully close - my flight is a week from THIS Monday! I will most likely be in a panic on that day (transportation to the airport could be interesting).
Am I as prepared as I could be? No. I could certainly have put more miles in on the bike, but I am still feeling quite confidant.
The LEJOG part of the tour will be done with my Uncle over 12 days (Lands End to Jon O'Groats) will be spent at B&Bs so won't be traveling with camping gear.
The Lon Las Cymru (Cardiff to Holyhead in Wales) will take 4 days and will commence on the 4th day after the LEJOG (giving me 3 full days of rest). I will be riding this leg solo and with all my Camping Gear as I will be camping each night.
From Holyhead I take a ferry over to Ireland where I will continue my tour, going down to Mizen Head before heading up to Malin Head. I will be taking a 2 day break (one to hike C. Patrick!) at my Aunts house in Galway. I am having difficulty planning the route North of Galway (lack of campsites) but will be looking to do my Irish Segment (solo again) in about 18 days.
