Hi Neil from Crawley, W SX here. Very much looking forward to taking part. Chosen the north anti-clockwise route. I've travelled most of the roads of Scotland when I was working there a few years ago, all be it in a Sprinter van! Whilst wishing I was on my bike.
I did the CSMA National Rally a couple of times back in the day which was about 1000 miles door to door in 24 hours and regularly ride 7 hour runs, most of which spent in the saddle.
I fancy the idea of camping to soak up the whole 'in it together' experience but still weighing up the comfort and quality of sleep from staying in a hotel........i'll confirm once i've gotten off the fence!
