Pier-to-Pier Itinerary

Pier-to-Pier Itinerary

This Pier-to-Pier Itinerary outlines a 240-mile southern England coast-to-coast route. It is, as usual, our annual group cycle tour with some of our friends from Stockport Community Cycling Club. It will be our thirteenth summer tour and, as always, it will be a special event. This coast-to-coast starts from Clevedon Pier, which opened in 1869, and crosses southern England finishing at Southend-on-Sea Pier. This iron version opened in 1890 and is the longest pleasure pier in the world. In between…

North Coast 500 Day 12 – Alness to Inverness

The final day of our North Coast 500 cycle tour had arrived. At the end of North Coast 500 Day 11 we arrived in Alness tired following the strong headwinds we had experienced in sections. North Coast 500 Day 12 would prove to be a microcosm of the whole tour – we would experience wind, rain, and of course, those wonderful views! Upon leaving our overnight accommodation at Westmore Bed and Breakfast we cycled through Alness in the direction of…

North Coast 500 Day 11 – Brora to Alness

North Coast 500 Day 11 – Brora to Alness

We were now coming towards the end of the tour, only one more day after this. After quite a long previous day in the saddle for North Coast 500 Day 10, and cycling that mainly avoided the traffic, this North Coast 500 Day 11 promised much the same. Upon leaving the Sutherland Inn which was situated on the A9, we quickly crossed the river and turned off the main road into Gordonbush Road. The original North Coast 500 follows the…
