Cant wait for Edinburgh to Carlisle (my city!)
Then Keswick to Liverpool.

Should be some great view points in the Lakes from the Keswick start.

just planning my corner spot near Eccleston. Can't find a decent route map yet (the TDF one is pretty pixelated) but quite sure of the turning. Nowhere park nearby so hoping to sweet talk a local property owner nearer the time or park at the Rose and Crown and see if i can buy a take out

The first stage starts and ends roughly where the Scotland Ride to the Sun goes but in reverse, 100 miles overnight from Carlisle to Cramond beach getting there in time for the sunrise. I'll be riding that in June this year.
