LEJOG Day 8 – Saturday 1st June
We woke up at the Boot’s family house in Warrington and were treated to a wonderful breakfast before George and James drove us back up to Preston (where we had finished our ride yesterday) to start our ride today.

LEJOG Day 7 – Friday 31st May
We woke up this morning after a really good sleep – I had fallen asleep by 8:45pm last night! We got ready and set off early for the longest cycle day of the trip ahead (135km). We cycled 45km to Middlewich where we met our wonderful friends James and Rachel who were joining us for…

LEJOG Day 6 – Thursday 30th May
Hello again loyal blog fans, it is my (Harry’s) turn to write this one. We will start with a few follow ups from the most popular parts of my last blog. Undercarriage update: tender and deteriorating by the day. However, our strict skin care routine means it is significantly better than we thought it could…

LEJOG Day 5 – Wednesday 29th May
We got up early this morning at Oli’s house – we were feeling quite tired with sore bodies this morning. We wanted to set off early as we had a big day of cycling ahead of us – 120km from where we were in Bristol to Worcester. We said our goodbyes to Oli and thanked…

LEJOG Day 4 – Tuesday 28th May
We let ourselves have a lie in and take the morning slower this morning because we’d had a tough 3 days of cycling. When we did get up, we had some breakfast and got ready. Harry had a leftover fajita for breakfast! Unfortunately our washed clothes hadn’t fully dried, but at least they smelt better! …

LEJOG Day 1 – Saturday 25th May
Beth woke up very early not being able to sleep again – I’m sure the nerves will settle after a few days once we’ve got into the swing of it! Had a cuppa in bed and then we got ready for park run. We cycled just 5 minutes down the road to where park run…

LEJOG Day 0 – Friday 24th May
We were awake long before the alarms – not much sleep had been had by either of us probably due to a mixture of nerves/excitement and anticipation for the challenge/adventure ahead! We had packed most of our stuff the night before as we were both working from home for the morning. At 11:45am we locked…

The last few days before back to reality
Friday 15th September I woke up early again naturally and so went for a run along the beach while it was quiet and cooler. It’s so beautiful for runs compared to at home! Once I got back I had a dip in the pool and then we went for some breakfast. After breakfast chilled out…
