The whole route has been divided into
20 cycling stages and 4 rest days in
Bristol, Liverpool,
Edinburgh and Fort William.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The daily distance depends on the
profile and the locations of suitable accommodation.
It's an average of around 105 kilometres per day.
The whole route follows almost everywhere quiet roads
where you can enjoy the beautiful countryside
or coastline. The course rolls continuously up and
down; never long, but sometimes pretty steep. The tour
can be characterised as hilly with roughly 1.250
meters of climbing per day.
We take three ferries during the
journey. The first two ferries are to and from
the Isle of Man. The other ferry is between the Kintyre
Peninsula and Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.
At the start in London you receive an extensive tour
guide with background information about the route.
A GPS which has the option to upload
files is essential and very helpful to find the correct
way without looking at detailed maps and an overload of
instructions. |
