After postponing for a year because of Covid, we are in training for the second stage of our fundraiser for the NDA cycling from Lands End to John O' Groats. Starting on 10 June we head from Whalley (near Preston) to Inverness.
Improvements for this stage include camping !! Surely the weather cant be as bad as for stage 1. Unfortunately our stage 1 tandem has been retired having done a few hundred miles towards the end of its life with the frame held together by cable ties!! It was eventually repaired but rather than risking another failure we are now astride an "Orbit" tandem that is a little bit sturdier and we hope better able to take the extra weight of the tent and sleeping bags. Stage 1 tandem contributed to the last as when repaired she was passed to friends who are getting into tandeming in return for a donation to the NDA.
