Re:

Im going to have fun lugging that lot on the train. Might be living on crisps for the weekend :LOL: especially with bike tools and spares.

Dont worry fairy lights are essentials. Guessing theres electric somewhere there to charge phones etc because my phone will not last more than a day.

Yeah you'll be okay on that front, Any123 has a mofo generator and an extension lead for phone charging.


And BTW beer and crisps are the staple diet for retired athletes

It's called cycle touring :LOL:

I can bring a spare tent / stove if you need one
 
Re:

cheers kingbling. I've just bought a tent so alright on that front. Stove I'm not worried about. I'm sure there's facilities to buy a cup of tea. That's all I care about ;) I pretty much live on crisps some days anyway (my guilty pleasure) :LOL:

How much stuff/tools would you take on the lap, are we talking just a tube and a multi-tool?

Pretty much Hotwheels thats all I'll be taking round with me :D

plus a pump, and thats about it, the ground isn't prone to giving punctures, so one tube should more than suffice, a lot of modern bikes seem to brake skinny chains but I've never seen an 8speed bust

its basically a balls out mad dash to get round rather than an endurance sportif so keep it simple and light.
if you turn up with a haversack on your back and 2ltr of water and three bars of kendle mint cake you'll look a right todger
