14/8 ride Birmingham to Northants

You are talking about the old train line from MH to Northampton.I have done it recently but it is super popular now. Lots and lots of riders and a few frustrated walkers. I have to work Tuesday otherwise I'd join for some of that route.

Yup, it's fab along that (NCN Route 6), shame we only pick it up at our destination! The London and Bristol rides to the festival will hit big chunks of it.
