All you need is some sort of bike, something to sleep in, and some snacks to keep you going until the next pub or potato field. You’ll get wet and knackered, and you’ll get lost, I mean “temporarily misplaced geographically”. Then again, you’ll get to keep some great memories.
The plan, such as it may be, is fluid and will change en-route, but there should be plenty of water around (ha ha - Wales!), and at least one cafe/shop/pub a day. There will be civilised places (for Wales
) and remote places. In my version of the LHC there won’t be a massive mileage, prob'ly less than 100 miles total. I’m not really into distances, speeds, etc; what (and who and where) happens is more important in my book. Aptitude for talking rubbish in pubs seems to be a useful qualification though.
Small print: You must be able to self-extract from any eventuality under your own steam, although we can assist with rescue helicopter pre-bookings. This is also not an officially led ride, but a loose group of chums, although obviously we’ll all be looking out for each other.
Last year we had 11 in the group, which was fun but was hard to find bivi spots. I’d like 6/7 this time, and my good friend Si has offered to mop up any “overflow”. Show interest on this thread please. I’ll be on hols next Monday-Friday but will try and keep an eye out here.
Yes I’m a big kid really – and dead excited already, aren’t you?
Cheers for now, ‘Reg’ (and the faithful Panda)
