This is a multi-post coverage of our England to Denmark Trip on bicycles. The posts include:

Jake and I cycled from Brighton to Denmark. I think we did the most part of 1200 kilometres in 14 days, minus a couple of minor, and necessary, uses of public transport. After the first week I was looking forward to it ending and naturally now (three weeks later, at time of writing) I am in full time work again and starting to develop the feeling of missing being out there. So, time to start writing. (10.08.22)
(05.10.2022, day of publishing.) I'm not sure what has been more painful. Cycling to Denmark, or writing about it. I have been circling around and around as to what relevance there is for this to be out there in the world. It wasn't even an impressive feat. There's no grand story to tell. I am lost between telling this story properly or not telling it at all and neither option is leaving me feeling satisfied, so instead, in honour of the blog as a format and in the hopes that what I am putting together in this space may at some time serve as a tool or resource for someone, I have put together a few things. Some writing about the trip, some daily documentation and some photographs. Proof that it happened? A reminder to myself that it wasn't all bad, or all that good? Maybe just something to look back on, for the sake of it. What we had was life on the road. Really the same as life in the city or life in the fields. Getting through, working it out, finding joy where you can find it and being thankful for any company at all. Below I outline a bit about the trip, from the planning stages, through to reflections after the trip was finished. You won't find funny moments here, but you can get an idea for that stuff in the other parts of the post. See the links at the top or bottom of the page.
