Hi there, i am going to be doing the SDW with my dad in 1 week and 2 days (as long as it's not raining or too boggy out there) so just after some advise from those of you who have done it.
We are doing it in 2 days as my Dad's not really up to doing it in a one-er so hoping to do about 60 miles out from Winchester and then stay in a B&B - any reccomendations for B&B's that are not too far from the south downs and that are bike friendly?
Secondly, what sort of kit should we be carrying with us as a minimum? I was thinking: 2/3 tubes, lots of super patches, pump, multitool, some shorts and a fleece for the b&b, lots of nutrigrain bars and water. - Does this sound about right?
If we bring a 800ml bottle each and a camelback full will that be okay between water stops? Also, how many water stops are there?
Our plan is to stop along the way for food as much as we can to avoid carrying it.
So overall, how does this all sound? I'm hoping we dont need to carry much more than that but please let me know if i've missed anything out of if you have any tips etc from previous experience.
Thanks in advance!
