End to End in 5 Days - Report

[Grahame]

Did you enjoy it?

[Hal]

I did enjoy it.

I was always riding aginst the clock, trying to make it to where ever I was going so didn't get much time for sight seeing. However you absorb (especially when it rains) much of the scenery as you go along sights, sounds, smells etc. Plus, I do like riding my bike.

I'm certainly enjoying it now, looking back at the pics etc feeling a bit chuffed.

First time I've seen this topic. So this is a bit late but...WoW!!! Great ride and great write up, Hal. Fantastic! Inspiring stuff.

One dull but important question for anyone wanting to emulate your epic ride...did you book your B and Bs in advance and how did you know they were bike friendly??

All i can say Hal is I'm bloody impressed!!! Myself and Steve W are looking at doing it next year (not in 5 days though)

[Gavin]

Is that an addiscombe record for the end to end?

Wow very impressive I couldn't imagine doing 200 miles on the last day of that trip.

I think it was said at Keith's funeral he did it in 4 days unassisted
