Cycling is to Paul what breathing is to most people, but I am neither a cyclist nor keen. He was probably born clutching a bike pump tightly in his fist whereas I am more of a coffee shop kind of girl… Friends suggested we borrow their tandem and that's where it all started. We discovered riding together was actually quite fun. One day I picked up a book about travelling from Land's End to John O' Groats. I commented to Paul, "We should do this one day!" After all, I didn't find reading the book exhausting at all… Thus begins an adventure from the southwest of England to the north of Scotland – full of breathtaking scenery, humorous happenings and rather too many hills.
