Cycle camping tour, East to West coasts

cyclist035

Hi, am considering an East to West coast solo cycle camping tour during the summer this year, in order to wet my appetite for a possible Jogle/Lejog next year. Thinking I will probably try to do this is week - 10 days perhaps ?

Looking at Gt Yarmouth area across to Aberystwyth perhaps (both start & end will need trains).

Any advice on possible routes, if anyone has already done this before ? Also, will be my first cycle camping experience, so advice on what to pack, other general comments gratefully considered !

I'd try a weekend away first before you do a full week.

Have a look at www.beewee.co.uk and the Side to Side link - we rode St David's to Lowestoft (farthest west to farthest east in Wales/England) Stopped at B&Bs so can't comment on camping. Trains were no problem. I would ride W to E as there is more chance of the wind being behind you. If you want any help on the route e-mail the link on the website
