So, with 7 months to go I am starting to panic!  Not about the cycling, oh no...I have no worries regarding that bit!  I am beginning to panic about what kit to take, will I need to take a towel, how many sets of clothes etc.  As Steve will confirm, I do not travel light...hence the decision to do LE-JOG as a supported tour where my luggage will be transfered from place to place.  Nevertheless, I do need to scale down my usual mega-packing, the thought of the train journey from Aberdeen to Penzance with my stuff and my bike, and more than likely 2 or 3 changes of train scares me somewhat!

Yes...I need to take deep breaths and get a grip!!  I have spotted what looks like the ideal rucksack, and am sure with that on my back, my bike under my arm...and of course my handbag over my shoulder, I will be able to take however many changes of train Scotrail can throw at me!!
