Packing panic; charging the GORP tank

Today is our last day in Notts for a while. As I speak, we're packing our panniers and staring in horror at the volume of gear we're apparently planning to haul the length of the country. We had planned to do a 'test pack' weeks ago, but, you know... Tomorrow morning: early start; radical rethink and repack; tidy up and vamoose.

Also ritually mixing up a tub of GORP ('Good Old Raisins & Peanuts' - add M&Ms for an exotic twist). Horrible really, but energy-dense at least. We'll be glad of this when we're weeping beside our twentienth Cornish hillside.



The ride proper starts Saturday morning. Watch this space...

    Wow you are ploughing through those counties! Rain, wind, hills, opportunities to take photos of regional novelties, none of these things stand in your way! See you soon, let me know if you want me to refill your GORP tank… I suggest replacing the raisins and peanuts and with maltesers, and revels :) x
