Hi everyone! Good reception for this so far, thanks all.
A bit more detail below and some questions answered. And the routes.
This will be running if the weather forecast is not terrible and trains are still operating. I am aware of the Coronavirus measures etc. If you have any symptoms please don't come. I'll leave it at that.
When: Saturday 28th - Sunday 29th March
Where: New Forest. Train to Brockenhurst on day 1, train back from Salisbury on day 2.
What: 50-60km each day of gravel, doubletrack, tiny roads, singletrack.
Overnight: Wild camping on a great spot.
Am I welcome: Yes, if you have a positive attitude and enough half-decent kit to come round
Mood: Open and supportive, stopping to chill often, making a grand old fire in the evening
Other Important Details:
I will post exact meeting and trains info in due course. Do not book trains yet, we only book for sure a week or so in advance to check the weather forecast is good. A weekend of rain ain't fun.
If you don’t have a tent you can probably share a tent/tarp with someone else, post in the thread. You will need your own sleeping bag and mat at a minimum.
You must be self-sufficient, so bring plenty of food, tools, tubes, and good attitude! We don’t ride fast at all, but you must be fit enough to make it round on a loaded bike. If you’ve never ever gone camping these trips might not be for you.
Routes for day 1 and day 2, these make more sense if you look on an OS map.
