Day 1: travelling day

Welcome from the jogle bloggers on day 1 of the big adventure! What we have learnt so far....how to put a bike on a train and fasten its seatbelt, your only a true traveller if you bump a few heads with your panniers walking through a 1st class carriage, when you walk out of the train toilet and your older sister is already chatting up a travelling hunk, and finally a good belly laugh can always make your day! We look forward to our first night in Scotland and can't wait to meet the legendary John with his goats! 🐐🚂

Day 2: Off we go....

Image
The day we actually started cycling! We woke up today after sleeping in what seemed to be the comfiest bed so far (the only bed so far!) Kayla made egg soldiers for breakfast using the food Florence provided, the eggs were on point! We set off on our warm up ride from wick to John O'Groats cycling past the seaside! There were some horrendous hills, however we realised that we are going to face much worse 😱! After 2 hours warm up we arrived at the very windy but sunny JOHN O'GROATS, were a sweet old couple took our photo and chatted to us about all sorts! We then went into the cafe and feasted on a pizza which we wolfed down. After eating we signed the official John O'Groats to Lands End visitors book and got stamped! Best quote of the day goes to Kayla: "just like Brexit I don't feel strong and stable" as the wind was blowing us all over the road!! Eventually we have arrived at our B'n'B and are getting some good rest for the long and hilly day tomorr...

Day 6: The tale off the partridges

Today's blog consists of some events of the day including a story!  The first route of our day was very relaxing as Kayla sang some Taylor Swift and we tried to think of as many songs with the word bicycle in ( we only managed to find four, so that game didn't last long!). Jenna also started discussing the anatomy of a Pom Bear concluding that it was infact female as it had no sign of genitals but just a belly button - no further explanation needed! Town of the day goes to...... Dunkeld  for providing us with fish and chips!  The story of how the partridge hung himself/herself! I hope your settled comfortably for this gruelling tale! One day (the 5th day of cycling) Kayla and Jenna were cycling from Newtonmore to Bankfoot. When cycling through a gale in the mountainous views we came across yet another hill. As Kayla and Jenna ascended on their two bikes called pulkie and paura they stumbled across a group of partridge! The partridge family was very scared and it...

Day 19: How to photobomb a wedding and avoid the M4

Image
After a lovely sleep at 'The Bell' we had 50 miles to get to Pewsey! After a speedy morning we had a take away pizza (cooked by a real Italian) and gobbled it down sitting on a park bench! The next 25 miles was a bit soggy and with our music blaring we travelled along some pretty cycle paths! Arriving at 'The Castle and Ball' to meet up with our next guests for chocolate popcorn cheesecake and lots of other naughty treats! After  some energy boosts we had 7 miles to climb a hill and make our way to the warm house, with bunting and a pannier filled with delicious treats and motivational messages made for us! Amelia had made us a delightful meal and after a lot of giggles we headed to bed, ready for our rest day tomorrow!!! Yipee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Most impressive skill of the day: almost photobombing 3 wedding photographers photos Funniest moment: Kayla talking to the Italian pizza man, who proceeded to tell her about all the drinks on the menu, going through them all fo...
