Thanks Jamie.
Interesting that they went from east to west. Its usually done west to east. A couple of reasons why we went west to east....
1, The big climbs are in the Lakes and its good to get them out of the way on fresh legs. The Lakes are beautiful too and its good motivation at the start of an epic journey.
2, Once you have got the Pennines out of the way you have an easy spin over the vale towards the NYM to recharge your legs.
3, most importantly, you tend to get the weather at your backs.
4, the best bits of the NYMoors are downhill when you go W to E and its always nice to finish on home turf.
I'd love to have another crack at this route. Any takers? August or september next year?
