Willard & Steve, accompanied by 'scout' in a hired motor home, embarked on their most adventurous cycling trip to date, from Lands End to John O'Groats (LEJOG).


Between 9.50am 20th April and 8.58am 30 April 2011 they succeeded in completing LEJOG, covered 900.18 miles and left a blog along the way which they hoped would make people smile as it did them.

Day 4: Easter Sunday 24th April 2011. Monmouth, Wales to Bulkeley, Cheshire. 101 miles today. 355 miles in total to date.

Departed 8.05am. Finished 8.13pm.

Todays route – Monmouth, Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow, across Corvedale onto the Shropshire Hills, Church Stretton, Shrewsbury, Wem, Whitchurch, Bulkeley or more specifically a farmer’s field nine miles north of Whitchurch sniffed out by scout when all camp sites were full and made available in return for ten pieces of silver.

The day of five counties – Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.  Another sunny day cycling into a brisk northerly wind and chilly for the last 2 hours.  Quote of the day; “I’ve spent 8 hours trying to keep up all day, how do you expect me to put in another 10% now?”        

Day 5. Plan to cross Cheshire and Lancashire into Cumbria.
