CTC has a number of guides that can be downloaded. Think I had them somewhere when I worked in Cov, not sure if still got but will check.

Also UTFS on here - saw a thread last night about the same.

It is. I thought it was 603 miles til I saw that that was just the distance as the crow flies lol... closer to 1000 miles by road isnt it?

I'm planning on riding LeJoG this summer. Pastry is right, the route I'm looking at is about 1k miles. I am gunning for 10days. The plan atm is a carradice on the back and a bar bag up front. The CTC stuff is OK, but tied to the places they suggest to stay. There is a site with a whole load of links to people's blogs of their experiences that is also useful:

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
