More route research, round the Kent coast from Canterbury.
Author: Rob Ainsley
Canterbury 1: Ham Sandwich
I’m researching cycle routes round Canterbury and Kent. Sadly I couldn’t find a sign anywhere saying SANDWICH DEAL.
Glasgow to Edinburgh 2: Falkirk to Edinburgh
The second day of route research, following the Union Canal from Falkirk along smooth flat tarmac towpath right into Edinburgh city centre. *slag heaps
Glasgow to Edinburgh 1: Bowling to Falkirk
Route-researching this Scottish coast-to-coast. It goes a mere 60 flat miles, all on smooth tarmac canal towpaths. The Clyde Canal goes thirty miles from Bowling to Falkirk via Glasgow; from Falkirk, the Union Canal goes another 30 miles to Edinburgh. Ideal for families, trundlers, and lazy cycle bloggers looking for an easy ride. But Falkirk’s…
Norwich 2: Ferries and floods
On another glorious day, what could be better than cycling round the Broads? Well, boating round them, obviously. The Broads are not conveniently set out for bikes. *But* I had a fabulous, ferry-rich, day researching more routes.
Norwich 1: Broads and coast
I’m in Norwich for a few days, researching routes round the Broads and up and down the coast.
Brighton 2: Long Man, Seven Sisters
More cycle route research round Brighton way. The Long Man of Wilmington and the Seven Sisters. There’s clearly a 7:1 gender imbalance here. So what sort of equality do you want? Equality of opportunity, or of outcome?
Brighton 1: Devil’s Dyke, Ditchling Beacon
I’m in Brighton for a few days researching cycle routes here and round the Downs.
Whitby 2: Cake, but no fryup in Fryup
Another lovely day cycling the North York Moors on route research. Arguably the best place to cycle tour in Yorkshire, therefore arguably the best place to cycle tour in the world. But let’s not argue.
Whitby 1: Moors and more
Fabulous day of route research cycling up over the North York Moors to Whitby, via Wheeldale Moor. This is high up on my list of most enjoyable places in the world to cycle-tour. It has all the essentials: quiet roads, climbs and descents, sweeping views, glorious solitude, friendly locals, and a Wetherspoon in Whitby by…
