ed - having just done part of plymouth-london this weekend (didn't have the pace for the whole ride) just make sure you save enough oomph for dartmoor as there are some long drags. and watch out for sheep lying on the road.
enjoy!

Will be doing this the week after next, cutting it too short as I'm off to Budapest next week.

thank for the warning hamster, I'm sure the sheep aren't as bad as the one in Cumbria, man my throat was dry from shouting at them.

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:

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:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
