Thanks for the offer but Bristol is 2hours almost from london, out of interest what day& time would you be going up and where would I of met you?

Heading from Norfolk if that's any help. Just me and my kit in a car.
Shame it isn't south wales else I would go London way, so as a suggestion I could pickup from Cambridge train station?
I'm heading out along A14 all the way to the M6 and across to Telford (M54).

Not sure if that helps or not :)

Not unless you don't enter

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:49 am

That's a double negative

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:27 pm

That's because I'm from Derbyshire and that's how we talk

Sounds very good fantastic mr Matt where could we meet

If I go and to be honest I'm 50/50 at the moment as it clashes with lots of things then I'll be setting off from West London at 4-5pm.

Will be travelling in an old Landy so should arrive just in time for the start.

I'll know by end of tomorrow.

That would be fine yep, it's no problem, I'd appreciate the company tbh, never done one of these events before, so you could spend the entire journey convincing me it is actually a good idea

I'd be leaving sometime friday, returning sunday night probably. Although I haven't given it a huge amount of thought at this stage :D So pretty flexible/negotiable, I can take monday off no probs, and leave as early as lunchtime friday.

MM-on-POINT · Post by **MM-on-POINT** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:45 pm

Sold to slowmo LOL.
any time Friday is fine I'm good for a Sunday or Monday return.
I also have never done such a distance in that space of time & since i became a stay at home dad i become absolutely rubbish at hill climbs.
so slowmo my email is 789Reilly@googlemail.com to finish the planing via email and if you up for team up for the 200?

MM-on-POINT · Post by **MM-on-POINT** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:49 pm

Also new to this bikepacking lark, but looking forward to it.
Leaving SW London on Fri night if anyone is interested in a lift.

Sorted then, I'll drop you a mail.

Yeh I'm no mountain goat (being from Norfolk! lol), but never miss an opportunity to get over to the lumpier parts. No idea on the mileage either tbh, more interested in just having a bit of adventure and a laugh. Done some big road tours this year so hopefully won't be entirely off the boil. Happy to team up.
