I was blessed with very reasonable weather for my first long journey. Bright or sunny the whole way, quiet roads, cold nights.

Five days, 436 miles, one puncture.

You can read about it in detail on the http://www.pedelecs.co.uk forum. As before, on the ‘Solar trailer build’ thread.

Springtime is a lovely time to travel.
The only trace of my camp after a minus 3C night.
Another high pass: Shap summit on the old A6.
Crossing the very impressive Runcorn bridge.
Sustrans Route 5, just wide enough by the A55 tunnels.
Safe arrival in Snowdonia.
