Tomorrow is the great day. Route planning and packing are all but done.
Derek will set off from Wigton and I'll set off from Skelton and we'll hopefully rendezvous at 10 am outside Carlisle station.
Our route to Copenhagen starts with a train journey to Newcastle, short cycle to the ferry terminal and overnight trip to Ijmuiden. From there we cycle north through Holland and Germany eventually reaching Putgarten on the Baltic coast. A short ferry trip takes us to Denmark and eventually our destination. Overall we expect to cover about 1000km cycling roughly 100km a day.
The planned route takes us through vast areas of little cultural interest so Derek should hopefully be able to concentrate solely on his cycling.
Very exciting.

ReplyDeleteI am sure there will be no problems, have a great trip.
Derek is the one who is worried.
