I think I did a very early version of this route (or big chunks of it) with a friend in October 2019 when Dean(?) was putting it together.
I vaguely remember getting very cold and very wet near a bus depot in the arse end of somewhere. The type of cold where you can’t use your hands. Anyway, we managed to book into a hotel and the last thing I can remember from the ride was being stared at by everyone in a packed curry house as we stuffed our faces with naan in soaking wet cycle clothing. There may have been a nice sunset/sunrise along the way too.
EDIT: Just checked Strava and can confirm the above is correct.

Packing going well. I was going to go without a framebag and I was going to hotel on the first night but now I've packed sleeping kit, nothing fucking fits. I've added a little top tube bag onto the downtube and one of the plastic straps broke. It wouldn't reach anyway but still annoying.
Battery doesn't seem to be charging or is fucking slow.
Anyway, everything is now in the saddle bag like a chump so we'll see if I can actually make it to the train.
