The first leg of the Epic Coastal Journey (ECJ) begins on
Friday. Friday 13th. Good job we’re not superstitious.
This leg demonstrates the true spirit of the ECJ. We’ll be
doing two days of cycling, joined by two guest riders, Terry and Wilm, on
Friday, and up to four more, the Campbells, on Saturday. We’re camping. We’re including an island, and we have a few
friends joining us there on Saturday evening.
We will be leaving Wheelton on Friday morning heading for
Bolton le Sands, and from there to Barrow in Furness on Saturday. From Barrow
in Furness we will take the “ferry” (a small open topped motor boat) to Piel
Island, which lies off the tip of the Furness peninsula in Morecambe Bay.
Piel Island is very small, there is no electricity, no
roads, no cars. There is ruined castle and pub, and you can camp there. The
landlord of the pub is known as the King of Piel. We’re looking forward to it.
