Would be great to have you along, Joe . I'm sure we'll get a route hammered out before too long. My guess is that its's approx 80 miles.
'Night miles' can't be done as fast as 'day miles' and because your body is most accustomed to being asleep at that time it can be a little trying. However in good weather the emptiness of the country lanes and mysterious stillness of the landscape is mildly thrilling.
Avebury itself is undoubtedly a remarkable location, I remember the travellers and (small) police presence gave something of a sense of occasion as we rolled in. Mostlly I remember losing most of my body heat as we waited for the sun to break the horizon.
