FAQ - How much will it cost?

 An impossible question to answer - depending on so many factors.  I have ridden the E2E twice and do not know what it cost for either trip! - we did get good rates for advance purchase train tickets and researched reasonably priced B&B accommodation - and ate and drank at a level that made the trip enjoyable*

Organised holiday packages vary widely in cost - depending on accommodation, duration, support etc.

It's obvious, but a simple budget will reduce the risk of any nasty financial surprises:

Fares to get to/from the start/finish :    £n
Accommodation (B&B, Hotel, Hostel, Camping?) :   £n  x  n nights
Coffee stops, morning & afternoon  :   £n  x  2  x  n days
Lunch :   £n  x  n days
(On our trip to France we stopped mid-morning for coffee and bought quiche, cakes, fruit etc for a roadside stop - for LEJOG in 2010 we stopped at a cafe or pub every day)
Dinner :   £n x n days

These are the obvious costs - the usual general costs of living (toiletries, laundry etc) are not included nor are any costs related to the bike, parts, equipment, maps etc.

* If you really pushed me on cost I would guess at around £1,100 for our 12.5 days on the bike LEJOG in 2010 (that included overnight stops at Bristol on the way to the start and Edinburgh on the way home . . and I do recollect buying an ice-cream somewhere near Preston!)
