My Spontaneous Bicycle Ride Through Every County In Britain

In the summer of 2022, I embarked on a spontaneous bicycle ride through every county in Britain. It was an incredible journey, filled with stunning scenery, friendly people, and unforgettable experiences.

I had always dreamed of cycling through Britain, but I never thought I would actually do it. I'm not a particularly experienced cyclist, and I didn't have a lot of time to plan my route. But one day, I just decided to go for it. I packed my bike into my car and set off on a journey that would change my life.

I started my ride in the county of Kent, in the south-east of England. From there, I cycled north through the counties of Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, and Durham.

I then crossed the border into Scotland and cycled through the counties of Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Peeblesshire, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire.

From Scotland, I cycled back into England and through the counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Cleveland, North Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Hampshire, and back to Kent.

In total, I cycled over 3,000 miles and visited all 48 counties in Britain. It was an incredible journey, and I'm so glad I did it.

The Scenery

The scenery on my bike ride was simply stunning. I cycled through rolling hills, lush forests, sparkling rivers, and rugged coastlines. I saw some of the most beautiful places in Britain, including the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Scottish Highlands.

I also cycled through some of the most historic towns and cities in Britain, including Canterbury, York, Edinburgh, and London. It was amazing to see so many different places and learn about their rich history.

The People

The people I met on my bike ride were just as wonderful as the scenery. I was greeted with kindness and hospitality everywhere I went.

I met people from all walks of life, including farmers, teachers, doctors, and students. I learned about their lives and their hopes and dreams. I was inspired by their stories and their resilience.

I also met a lot of other cyclists on my journey. We shared stories and tips, and we encouraged each other to keep going.

The Challenges

Of course, there were some challenges along the way. I had to deal with rain, wind, and hills. I also had to navigate some busy roads and cities.

But the challenges were all worth it. They made the journey more rewarding, and they helped me to grow as a person.
