Land's End to John O'Groats Adventure

Starting the Adventure

I took the British Airways flight from Denver to London Heathrow on Sunday April 21st. All went well until I arrived in London Heathrow, and discovered that my bike was still where I had dropped it off at the British Airways desk in Denver. I knew this because I had an AirTag attached to it. Fortunately, the bike was loaded on the next flight to London. After numerous phone calls and watching the AirTag move around for two days, my friend Helene drove me out to the warehouse to pick it up. Not a great start to the trip and quite stressful but I was happy to have the bike back.

Checking in at Denver International Airport
Finally reunited with the bike in London thanks to Helene

The first week in the UK was spent waiting for the bike and then visiting a few friends before taking the train from London Paddington to Penzance on Sunday April 28th.

    hi Chris, not sure what happened but I commented a couple of days ago re your overnight on a farm after your bike problem and my comment doesn’t seem to be here??

    site also asked me to confirm my email again which I did wonder about. So hopefully this comment gets through.

      I saw your comment Toni. One where you mentioned Gary would like the ram In Hatherleigh. I’ll have a look and see what’s going on.
