I'm cycling across the C2C in March - the plan is to do it over two days.
Top to bottom is booked for the year after during the summer.
surely you want to have more than two days doing it. Sample more pubs and see more things on the way.
i am teaching an illiterate person to read at the moment...i get paid for it.

It's probably American crap: in my experince they never feel the need to explain they live in the USA, because it's the "default" country in the world and they assume anyone else who is English speaking, has the internet and, in fact, electricity must be in the US anyway.... or maybe a more sophisticated part of Canada, near the US border....
It's hard to blame them though - the "people" are only just starting to discover that the rest of the world exists. On more than one ocassion I've had Americans apologise to me for their country's lack of understanding about the world, citing the fact that their education system has only just started mentioning the rest of the world, and until the arrival of BBC News 24 a few years ago they've never had a world view on TV in their history.
