Brother Cycles have an event this weekend just outside Faversham. Its sold out i think but it might be worth a call to see if there are any last minute cancellations.

Never mind all the rides, bikepacking, and whatnot... what a cracking forum name
. I remember seeing the series when it first came out in 1962. Fabulous. Was it really possible for a four year old to fancy Venus?

Welcome aboard our crazy spaceship by the way! Packed full of a weird cross-section of passengers, and as for the pilot and co-pilot......

Thanks Woodsmith, for the heads up on that ride... I will make enquiries, wish I had known about it in advance - well... guess I will be "in the loop now"..
Eh .. RIP... cheers for the welcome and being of similar vintage myself I can assure you that you were a "normal" and "healthy" ( if somewhat advanced ) 4 year old - hahahahha

Funnily enough I spent some time yesterday trying to find some likely bivvy spots in your area on bing maps.
I visit my dad in Walmer every fortnight and was planning to spend this Thursday under a bush.
Do you have any suggestions for a peaceful night?
