Short night across.

Post by SHarper »

Inspired by a “Long day up” post on another forum, where someone is setting off from Lands End at sunrise on the longest day and hoping to get to John o’Groats by sunset for charity, I was wondering about a “Short night across”, leaving the west coast at sunset and getting to the East coast for the sunrise.
Ideally it’d be Lands End across to Lowestoft (most easterly to most westerly ish), but I don’t fancy the initial ride to Lands End, so I’m looking for suggestions for a start, a finish point and a reasonable route in between. Something like Blackpool to Scarborough via wherever.
I reckon it’ll be a bit over 7 hours duration, unless I do dusk to dawn, which is quite a bit less.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s the wife’s birthday on the 20th, (every year apparently) I like that idea. I’d look at the possibility of Aberystwyth to Cromer, if that’s even possible in the time between sunset and sunrise.
