I had a DNF on BCM :( . The Cycling Gods struck me down for my travel light philosophy. I suffered a series of spoke breakages. The first occurred Sat lunchtime close to Aberystwyth so had a repair and retrue at a bike shop. The second happened just shy of the halfway point and that was that. So nearly 300Km ridden and nearly £300 total spent on cabs to get back to Chepstow (wasn't going to go through a 6hr multiple changes Bank Holiday train journey with no guarantee of getting the bike onboard) . Live and Learn!
Going to invest in some kevlar repair spokes.
