I bet he didn't do Lundy. Highest lighthouse in the UK, though they had to stop using it when they realised it couldn't be seen when there was heavy fog.
It does say the mainland so doubt he did Lundy, plus not sure you'd even get a mountain bike up there, hiking it is difficult enough!
I don't think bikes are allowed on there anyway. It's not that difficult a walk to the Old Lighthouse, just a lot of sheep shit (I've stayed in the Old Lighthouse properties a few times).
Fantastic achievement that.
Can't believe Genesis didn't give him a bike to do it on though...
i'll be quite surprised if he included cape wrath lighthouse, on that bike.
He had intended to but was defeated by the weather:

It looks like quite a tough ride, clocking up a good number of 100+ km days on terrain that was often far from easy.
Hope you enjoyed Mumbles lighthouse.
