Ok so looking at 750 miles for the route see map here:

So that is approx 1600 miles for the support veehickle so @ 15MPG and pound per litre we get 484 squids.
I assume Angelo is OK with being the main trucker? Others can switch out here and there.
Will we need to pay for campsites? Well probably need a shower or two.. Depending on how rough we are, camp shower bags on top of the trailer work ok too.
I imagine food and water will come to say 20 quid a day max?? so that makes 240 each (but most of us have to eat everyday anyways!)
As for time we are looking at approx 10 days riding plus 2 driving back.. and tack on a couple extra days for frolic in the meadows with a group of young attractive girlies on bikes! okok getting side tracked..
Provisional dates are June 13 to 28 ish. how does work for all interested? I guess we need to get all potential riders to look at this eh?
Do we really need to do the charity thing? maybe some type of fundraisy event for a boost? Polo BBQ?
If we are a go, a couple near 100mi training rides would be a good idea, maybe team up with team bogey?
OK its on the table so lets finger it ooot!
