In just 10 days, we set off on our first 'major' adventure with our camper van (Footsack). My husband intends to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End, and Footsack and I will be support. We're aiming to stop and sleep wherever he stops, and at the moment I am consumed with waypointing laybys, car parks, pubs etc that are happy to be used by overnighters. I reckon this will take me another day or two to complete.
We had Footsack built for us by
Camper Kong in Wigan, to meet our needs on cycle support journeys, and to be pleasant to holiday in, and although we've only had the van for 5 months, its filling our needs perfectly.

Today we got Nick's bike back from its annual service too. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with it during the ride. Although we will be carrying spare tubes/tires and some other bits and pieces, we will not be carrying a spare bike.
Nick is hoping to cycle the
WOW Cyclothon next year, and this will be a test for that in many ways. An opportunity to iron out any problems with nutrition and muscles. He is planning 2 new bikes for the WOW ride.
