Ignore yir heid, just keep re-reading Mr P's write up.

Definitely up for a re-run, still annoyed with myself for not making the effort first time around.

That's what's putting me off!! :shock:

To summarise it, it was lumpy and uncomfy, Panda hit the point of total exhaustion, The Ken destroyed equipment and Rado went a bit mad with sausage poisoning while Gazz tugged himself senseless while drinking peach schnapps.

Sounds great

 

[The Ken]

It was Taz the most exhausting ride I have ever done - I was pushed to the limit on several occasions, but it is without a doubt the best ride I have ever done and we didn't even get good weather.

With hindsight Day 1 should have started a little earlier as we were rushing towards the end as light was fading. Other than that the only thing I would change is the quality of my panniers.

 

[Radoslaw]

Me! Me want! It was bloody awful and even painfull with my stupid rucksack at some point yet best epic ever. I'm soo up for it.

 

[The Ken]

With the numbers this will attract we might need a couple of small tents as back up to a full bothy.

Can we not just turn one of your huge panniers upside and use that as shelter?

 

[The Ken]

Well you did manage to use one as a life raft so I don't see why not

Would a Bob Yak manage this trip I ask? :?

Might be tricky in places especially the walk of pain and run down to Kingshouse and Glen Kinglass and..........


So probably no.

 

[Mr Panda]

........depends on the linkage to bike I suppose ie how strong and flexible it is
