@Ramsaye, what happened to you?
waited at all the usual pub stops, same tables as last year, then looked for sight of the Union Jack swimmers at the beach, then the pub, did you go super-sprint this year on your DD-return, or was the absence of your riding partner @middleofnowhere just to much; ps., GWS @middleofnowhere, unless you're already well and simply resting/limbering-up, in which case, keenly await the next ThNRC route, :-)
Re: wrong way.
He prefers it, train out in the afternoon, swim in the sea and feed up at the cafe. Bike to London trying to get to the pub in Finchinfield to see everyone going the other way. Then after a few hours when the roads start to clear, ride home to be in bed for Sunrise.
I said I'd join him the next time it was wind assisted.
