I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything,
I still believe that people are really good at heart.
- Anne Frank
There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.
- Winston Churchill

Re: D-day landing beaches, cycle camping
RBM......Easy mileage, the longest day was 45 miles and the rest about 25...It was only just over 130 miles altogether. Read the blog link, some of the guys had not ridden since their paper round back in 1987!!
Mercalia....Despite warnings re weight and amount of gear, some still turned up ready for the off at Pompey with enough 'stuff' to last a three month stay in Africa then Antarctica..... Oh well they had to haul the stuff so it was their choice.

Like I say you just cant convince people about weight until they sample it for themselves....
To be fair to Springy though he made it all the way carrying all this cr+p and got to 500 metres of the return ferry port in Caen before his saddle bolt snapped and he had his first and last mechanical.
He says he's gettin panniers for next time.
