As this is, I think, a bit of a free-for-all, I cannot see any problems with extra folk joining us along the way. We may be joined at High Beech by an Essex contingent as well.
The only tricky part is going to be guessing what time we will be in your neck of the woods (assuming you are not, as your name suggests, in the obscene further reaches of the outer solar system) as we'll be subject to all sorts of delays and faffage, I'm sure. (Last year, my boss who art in Barley was going to wave through the gates of his manor house but we were so late that he gave up and went back to polishing his Purdeys. Or something.) But if you're willing to wait for an hour or two for a straggly bunch of riders to appear out of the mist/drizzle/downpour/snow then it would be good to see you there.
