tour of Britain

The plan, such as it is, is to cycle in a vaguely anticlockwise direction round mainland Britain starting from Bury St Edmunds on April 23rd 2016, by heading east and turning left at Southwold,

The original, completely arbitrary, idea was to skirt the coast of Britain, but it might be better to seek quiet roads and interesting places instead. We may get all the way up Scotland, down to Wales and the South West of England and back to Suffolk by bicycle, and we may not - there are a great many unknowns. But we'll keep going as long as we are enjoying ourselves.

With a dog in tow and a (low) budget, we'll camp along the way and self-cater as far as possible. Hopefully we can take advantage of the kindness of friends and of fellow cyclists via Warm Showers, and pitch the tent in people's gardens as well as using camp sites and perhaps even doing some 'wild camping'.
