Buy an e-bike, trailer and camping gear and bike around the UK coast in the summer, writing travel reviews about routes and campsites.

by Jo de Klerk in Leicester, England, United Kingdom

A little while ago I had this idea of using a bike and trailer to visit all the coastal destinations of mainland England over the three summer months of the year. The purpose of the journey is to investigate and promote coastal destinations and campsites. I want to record, write and publish as much of my discoveries and particularly offer advice and an updated account of how to do this to the public. 

At this point I have two issues to overcome before I can start. I will need a bike, a trailer, a tent and all the lightweight gear and tools to keep me safe, secure, clean and fed. 

A rough estimate is about £2K for the bike and trailor and £1K for each month of June, July and August.

I chose an e-bike for my tour as I think I might need some assistance going uphill with a load. For significant parts of the journey I will pedal for fitness. 

The first part of the project is to procure the equipment, work out the details of the journey and the exact costs. 

If you wonderful folk can help me with this I will start to publish my progress online. I also feel like this effort could help to raise some funds and awareness for a charity. 

I will very much like to know what you think about my idea. 

Thanks for your support.
