The route - 14 days on two wheels with pedal power...

The following maps are downloads from my TomTom GPS watch, which has recorded the entire ride, from the start in Southwick, West Sussex, to the finish in St Austell, Cornwall.

Day 1 - Southwick to Climping
battling strong westerly winds and torrential rain
very basic campsite

the rain attacked us as we crossed the bridge to the island

where we visited the First Light Trust cafe in Gosport

Day 4 - Netley to Holmsley
New Forest campsite on an old WW2 airfield
where we were met by TA comrade Gary Franks

had to take a detour through Poole, as the Sandbanks to Studland ferry
was out of action!
best campsite on the trip

first night in a B&B
