Plan, plan,plan

We've been planning this trip for some time and we have spent many hours on the net searching out information on routes, equipment, accommodation, training and much more. Maybe there are others out there who are contemplating a similar adventure so we thought to begin by sharing what we have learnt and later, in the blog during the trip, we'll let you know what worked for us and what didn't.  As Alan is not renowned for his creative writing ability,  he'll be producing the first blogs on the decisions made to date. For the more interesting story of what happens during the journey, you'll have to wait until the end of May when the cycling begins. Mary will be posting  the daily blog.
