1. The Video for this day of the journey
The 33m 21s video below was recorded between Warwick and Knightwick on the 29th of July 2021.
2. The route we cycled on this day of the journey
The map below shows a “cleaned-up” version of our route between Lowestoft and East Harling on this day. By “cleaned-up” I mean, where I considered necessary, I edited the “real-life” track to exclude some of the mistakes or issues we encountered along the way, such as navigation errors, closed gates or other impassable obstacles (with a bike), etc. The objective being to prevent you from making these same mistakes or benefiting from the experience we acquired while riding on this route. Keep in mind everything changes… life is dynamic, roads and paths are closed for maintenance or become impassable for a number of reasons, access to certain locations may become restricted, etc. Use it at your own risk.
In addition to the raw GPX route shown in the map above, which you may download through the link below the map, I have also created a Google Maps version of the entire route in the EyeCycled Google Account.

5. Links to useful online resources for this day of the journey.
We are giving you our experiences here for free, but it is up to you if you want to replicate them or not. Each journey is different and you may want to plan a custom one for you. Hopefully some of your journey may match ours, but for any portions that don’t these are useful online resources for this day.
