    Wow, that is so extremely exciting! I'd love to join you for a day or so along the Pennine bits :)

    I've been distracted recently, and haven't been able to keep up in my usual internet haunts, so I'll go back to the start of your blog and read all the juicy details.

    Initially I thought those Kms were miles, incidentally: I was absolutely knackered just reading the list :)

    Hello My little Pink Porker!

    There is no way that those could be kilometres as if they were so, there would be no time for the pit-stops in all the ale-houses. I need to get my refuelling and tyre change down to about an hour and a half.

    I know it can be done if I try.

    Hi Alan!

    This is very, very cool, and just a little bit mad - just perfect!

    You are really inspiring my housemate Elena who wanted to bike across the UK, but till-now has been put off by boring stay-at-homes. After reading bits of your journal to her she has now been re-inspired...

    We'll both be following your adventures with eager anticiptation...

    All the best, Richard

    Hi Richard, Hi Elena

    Thanks for dropping in. It's possible to get two-thirds of your way through your allotted span and realise its all whizzing past you at an alarming rate.

    The time to do it is now.

    Get out those maps, oil the chain and polish the bicycle seat. Re-tension that old Sturmey-Archer and go and do it Elena - and drag Richard out with you. No excuses.

    Alan

    Hi Alan,

    I now see your route in more detail, and the last two B&B lists I sent won't be much use to you. Our routes cross occasionally but our schedules don't correspond except potentially at JOG. If I get to JOG, I'll look out for your signature, and you can look for mine. If we get there at the same time, we can drink the pub dry.

    Daryl

    Hi Daryl

    For those of you who have not bumped into Daryl yet, he is also doing a LEJOG this year. He is coming over from Florida to walk the length of our kingdom.

    He is starting three weeks behind me, but by the sound of things we should end up at the top end at roughly the same time. Daryl's route is unconventional in that he is keeping to the north west in England and taking in the Lake District.

    He is also very bravely navigating by using his PDA rather than paper maps!

    So Daryl - Good luck - and if we do bump into each other we should have a bit of a party!
