This year on Saturday March 26th, I plan to set off on my bike for over 3 months to cycle 5000 miles around Britain for Cancer Research.

This year on Saturday March 26th, I plan to set off on my bike for over 3 months to cycle 5000 miles around Britain for Cancer Research. I plan to stay in my tent and camp wild as well as in campsites if they be avalable. The overall plan is to follow the coastline of this island, as close as possible. For the first stage of the journey this shouldn't be a problem, though I may have to go inland more as I go north. On the first weekend I'm riding from my doorstep in Swindon, to the coast at Southhampton, thats where the real ride begins. From there I shall ride east towards Dover and then circle Britain counter clockwise to the top of Scotland, to the bottom of Cornwall. I have almost 4 months to achieve this dream, which averages at around 50 miles a day. Though hopefully speed won't become an issue, for I plan to enjoy every moment of this trip, from the stormy rainy nights, to beautiful sunrises, and hopefully a few lovely summer days. Whatever the weather and whatever this island has install for me, this is going to Biking Britain or Bust!
