It's been a while since I've been to your lovely wonderful great water-surrounded island - neither brexit nor a pandemic made travel easier, but I reckon in about 4 weeks, it's time again. (and of course I'm mostly kidding, I quite like the UK as a travel destination)
This time will be slightly different than previous, mostly comfy journeys in cars, trains and campervans - instead I'll rely on two (nonmotorised) wheels, and apart from the physical challenge, cycling through your kingdom from Dumfries to Dover should make for ample opportunities to meet some of you again or for the first time, especially given I'll thankfully be hosted by some of you
Post here or PM me if you're up to for one of the planned meetups or just happen to be on one of the plotted routes so we can meet up for a coffee or something during a quick break or post-ride!
