PS. When are you doing this? You're going through both of my home towns of Portsmouth and Faversham, so I will obviously come and see you through those areas

Stop having a go at him. At least he's doing something interesting.

Will be doing something interesting, right now, he's spamming the forum

This ride will be attempted in Late March/April time 2012 have to get really fit for it we estimate at least 35 days for it.

[greatkingrat]

Have you actually measured out the route? I reckon it would be at least 4000 miles and would take a lot longer than 35 days.

[Going Underground]

Thanks for the details Andi, only wish I had the time to join you

Let me know when you are doing the South Coast stretch (Littlehampton, Brighton area) if I can sort something our with Soup Dragon would like to spend a day cycling with you

That sounds like a plan, of course you are welcome to stay in Worthing if your route brings you there near the end of the day.

[palkanetoijala31]

For any tube challengers that actually live close by to the coast.Ie Soup Dragon Nozzacook etc.I will make sure that u ride that day wv us.I will car ride this in february 2011 to get exact mileage.

[palkanetoijala31]

On some advice We have decided to Go Clockwise around So most of the winds will be with us at certain points.Also i Have an idea for the Soup Dragon family that they ride entire Brighton Promenade and onto Worthing with us stopping for some beers if they want.

a 5 day tour in a car will take place in febuary this year so anybody wishing to meet up for a beer close to the coast let us know.

Having just re-read this, I decided to do what was suggested earlier with the route Andi has posted up so far, and put it all in a CODE box. Is the rest of this route going to be posted here? If so, I will add it to this code box and then we can delete all the individual posts.

No such thing as West town Ferry. I think you mean the Hayling Ferry.

[palkanetoijala31]

Does it Land in West Town or is there another name for the landing point.? and thank u Neil i will write up the rest of the route for u to add have 1 ferry crossing im looking at which gives me a stumbling block of a course direction of 20 miles.

Guardbridge - Tayport a919/b945
Dundee - Carnoustie a930

Obviously you can cycle across the middle section of the Tay Road Bridge to link Tayport to Dundee.

[palkanetoijala31]

Several time saving ferry crossings i have found to get me across harbours Harwich-Felixstowe saves me 30 miles also Padstow - Rock also saves 10 miles Helford Passage - Helford Falmouth - St Mawes and a couple around the essex area as well serve me well.
