Now with more useful information

Gordon — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:47:37 +0000

Since given this website a new look last weekend. I have been working on adding lots of new contains to the website.

So far I have added the following:-

Accommodation – The accommodation that I stayed in while doing the cycle.
Contact me – This page really speaks for it’s self.
Checklist – List of the stuff I took while doing the End to End cycle.
Weather – Links to useful weather websites.

I have updated the JOGLE route pages, so each day now contains the current weather for that section of the cycle.

Coming soon GPS route data, so you can download my JOGLE End to End cycle route to your own GPS.
