We took delivery of our van in May 2017, and saying goodbye to the lovely team at Jerba, we took 10 days to travel home from beautiful North Berwick going north first to Leith (for The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel), then turning south to Alnwick, Castle Barnard, Ludlow and into Wales for a crazy cycle ride in which my husband Peter was taking part, called The Dragon Ride, then home.
Peter is an obsessive road cyclist; the bigger the hills, the longer the climbs, the better. Over the years he’s completed numerous sportives and personal challenges and in 2016 rode one of the gruelling Etape du Tour Alpine stages, from Megeve to Morzine. Previously, by way of a training ride, Peter completed the Fred Whitton Challenge in the Lake District – 112 miles with some killer climbs in excess of 20% (https://www.fredwhittonchallenge.co.uk/the-route/).
