[#7333144]

Doing this next month from Knighton but we are puzzling how to get back to starting point. There are only two of us so taking two cars would be a lot expensive. IMBA book recommends the train but then you have to change in Shrewsbury which seems a faff with loaded bikes in a busy station. Thought about train to Newtown and then riding the rest but that is still 20 milesish probably on the same day as we finish the actual ride [ we are taking the 4 day option ]. Taxis look expensive , and we don't have the time to have a leisurely pedal back over a few days.
So, what did people find worked out best for them?

Do book in advance though, I had one accommodating guard and one very arsey guard...

Alternatively, do it in three days and use the saving on accommodation to fund a taxi!
