From mid-April 2011 to mid-May, 2011, I rode near Land's End in Cornwall and then from Newport, Wales north to Fort William, Scotland and then down through England to Peterborough near Cambridge. The weather for the first 3 weeks was sunny without a day of rain. Once back in England, it rained every day until the end.

I took over 1500 photos on this tour. I have selected 32 pictures, about one for each day, to provide a good idea of what I saw while riding around the UK.
