South Downs way, end-to-end, TBC

On phone, would be keen for bunkhouse.
Can someone add me?

done :)

also, some people who might be interested...

@BareNecessities @spotter @Hulsroy @amey @winnifred0001 @jono84 ok I'll stop now

Yes I think I can do that let me just check with my calendar manager.

you know what, I was genuinely thinking about this and if you know me you should know how funny this is but I have a social obligation to ride the great escape 'audax'

come on, this will be more fun!
can even lend you a 26" HT MTB!

When? What? How?

Thanks for the shout dude, i'd be all over this but i'm off touring in Japan next week!

Will definitely be up for something when i'm back, have a good one.

When - 19th and 20th May weekend
What - Riding the South Downs way as a group, most of us on mtbs probably, social easy pace.
How - train out on Saturday morning, back on Sunday afternoon/evening. one night either wild camping (around half of us?) or in a bunkhouse nearby (other half?)

ah man enjoy Japan! jealous

Arh I would love that.
But I have @JesperXT and his partner visiting. So I will be in the garden boozing

I guess the question is Exploro or MTB?

MTB

Hmm.
Ok, has an additional benefit that the bike has to come up for sale anyhow.

I just booked a pitch at blackberry wood campsite in ditchling on the 17th to do 2 days of solo hiking along there (shoreham to southease) will miss you lot by 2 days :(

Are you lot bivvying? It'll be like an LFGSS commune on the SDW. This could be fun.

Aaaaaaany idea on when you'll be arriving in Winchester?
Coming from Brighton will take a couple of hours on the train.

What time are you getting to Winchester? Earliest I could get there is 7:30ish.

edit - snap

I'll be in bivvy or under tarp, yes. going for the big communal campfire in the woods feeling :)

no point leaving london stupid early, will probably get to winchester around 9:30am.

Just caught this thread would love to join but also great escaping.

Got a bunch of bikpacking stuff if anyone needs to borrow and can get it back to me Mon/Tues.

Would be keen to try over summer.

@7Üp @xkittyx

Can I kip with anyone overnight Friday? Not so sure I fancy getting a 6am train from Norwich

can offer a sofa if you need it :)

That'd be grand!

Have booked the 8:35 from London Waterloo, because I'm keen and advance bargainz
