Most important thing is being able to sit on a bike for 6-8 hours every day for a fortnight. You don't need incredible cardio fitness - you just need to be bike fit and be mentally used to riding fatigued. Basic bike maintenance helps as does good road craft and handling on the bike. | |

quote: Up to day 5 so far, sounded like it was good fun but very tough, no doubt i will be asking your help once I have finished reading and start planning. Did you follow a specific training plan or just plain old time in the saddle training? | |

I completed Lejog solo and unsupported last year ... doing it again with mates next year. I planned it all myself so if you need to know anything from a bike touring, route planning perspective just pm me. | |

In all honesty with decent panniers and sensible packing, you'd do it without a support vehicle but it will make life easier; the less you have to carry the better not just for you but also for weight on the bike. | |

You'll need a support vehicle of some sort I'd say? | |

Do some training, ride a bike and walk up some hills. | |
