FUTURE TRIPS
Trips we are thinking of doing in the future. If you'd like to join us, get in touch!
In November 2025, head to Lanzarote with David's work mates for the Annual Hooley; while there, hire bikes and explore the two main islands.
Cannonbald Run 1: Sunday 21 June 2026.
On the summer solstice, race the sun from the eastern most point of England to the western most point. Leaving at sun-rise from Lowestoft Ness, head to Land's End, avoiding motorways whenever possible, about 500 miles.
Fly out to Vegas for two weeks and hire some hogs to do a road trip along Route 66 and the South West.
Target date 2026.
Follow in the tyre tracks of Filius Fogg and Passepartout, recreating their route around the world from London to the South of Italy, across India, the USA and Ireland, all in 80 days. Added bonus if we use the departing and arrival dates from the book ( but this would mean a different route through the USA due to bikes and snow not being best of friends). People could join for all or some of the legs. Use London-based bikes for first leg; rent/buy for India and USA.​
Target date 2031.

Paeroa to Dakar Rally
First stage is a rather long liaison from Paeroa, NZ to London; pick up the bikes then ferry to Spain, ride to Gibraltar and across to Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and finish in Dakar - Senegal. Should be a doddle.

Midnight Sun-Downer
Ride from London to Nordkapp - the most northern point in Europe, north of the Arctic Circle, doing a loop via Scandinavia and the Baltics.
length: 6,000 miles

when: June/July or September (avoid peak holiday season).
accommodation: mixture, would need to do some camping to keep costs down.
