LEJOG Summary

OK. So as sad as it may be, I have been through the Bikeroutetoaster and toasted the whole end to end journey.  Well, this is as far as I can remember from the route we took.
 
In summary, the mileage is showing an overall of 917. However, this route is direct and does not account for getting lost, mileage to and from the accomodation and any other slight diversions which may have happened on the way. And I don't want to lay any blame to anyone, it is what it is and we covered 942 miles.
 
The amazing thing is, that over the 10 days we climbed more than Mount Everest in total. Everest at 29,028 feet, we did the 32,549. (Most of it however in Camelford).
 
So there you go. You now know what the profile of the UK end to end looks like.
 
My only doubt is, I don't really think it does the reality justice. Shap summit is 1400 feet. On this it is about 900.
 
So, in reality, we may have actually climbed more than that. Leave it with me I will get back to you.
 
Cheers
