This is it! After a full forty minutes of planning with Google Maps, a few hurried calls to bemused friends-along-the-way and one Saturday afternoon of prepping the bikes (for which read: cleaning, checking oil and fussing over luggage) we are off at 14h00 today.
Eight days from now we plan to have ridden our motorcycles to the very corners of mainland Britain. Where we can't take bikes, we will bus, walk or crawl.
We have defined the four corners as the most extreme South-Easterly, North-Easterly, North-Westerly and South Westerly points of the mainland. These points are not necessarily the most Easterly, Northerly, Westerly or Southerly points - perhaps that could be the next trip!
Unlike Ewan and Charlie, we do not have the full backing of Snap-On tools, a campaign co-ordinator or a silent cameraman; it's just us and at TomTom that Tim bought from eBay.
Stay tuned - next post after the first corner:
Day 1: Tues
Southampton - Cambridge
271 mi – about 5 hours
