I Left My Heart in Altnaharra

 And TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. Altnaharra, in the northern corner of Scotland, is a tiny hamlet we passed through on our 3 week cycling adventure from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats. The region is simply breath-taking and I definitely plan to go back!

This is part 2 of my journal on our trip. Read the first part. 

I'm picking up the story deep in the north of England. For me, the last few days in England and the week in Scotland were the most spectacular cycling in the holiday. The highly populated cities and towns give way to hundreds of miles of unspoilt countryside. 

UK End to End by Bike - Part 1

 And TuesdayTwirl 

Dear friends.  For the last 3 weeks I've been cycling 1000 miles (1,609km) from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland (known as LEJOG). 

Some of you may remember we did this before, in 2024. I wrote a post about the experience, From Novice to LEJOG by eBike.  I talk there about how the holiday is run and give various tips on training, packing, riding an ebike and more.

This time, I'm approaching it in a different way. I'm sharing my daily journal. You'll find all the highs plus, in the interests of authenticity, the lows:  nausea, sore nethers, bike troubles....
