A bit about the route

On his first ride, James made the difficult decision to cut out most of Scotland by Cycling cross-county from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Now, determined to claim back the Scottish Coastline, James is returning to Edinburgh and going over the top, quite literally, following the coastline as far as he can. 

James isn't sure why but he feels this is the right way to go.

"Keep the ocean on my right and just keep peddling!"

Sounds logical enough!

James isn't sure where he will stop and rest each night, There will be a vague plan but a lot will depend on his progress, campsite availability, weather and if people offer accommodation. This will change from day to day but he'll be doing his best to keep followers informed in advance via his social media channels (Facebook and Instagram) @cycleforchangejames 

Can you recommend a coastline campsite? Are you happy for James to camp in your garden or sleep on your sofa? Get in touch using the link below and help him out if you can.

James wants to be as responsible and carbon neutral as possible along the way, which will mean no illegal wild-camping, no cycling on pavements or footpaths (bridleways and cycle-paths are ok), as few ferries across easturies as possible, no lifts in peoples cars and no sneaking on public transport to take shortcuts!

I have no idea how far I'll get. Bad weather, fatigue, injury or illness may have a huge impact on my progress so I can't promise where I'll get to. What I can promise is that I'll do all that I can to get as far as possible in the time I have ."
