@curto80 - brave man to SS that :).
I bivvied next to a bench at up on the Ridgeway and woke up in a cloud at sunrise. Was hoping it would burn off quickly, but I think it was 11am before I took my jacket off.
I do fancy doing it with booked accommodation so I can travel a bit lighter - maybe take my Arkose instead of the 29er. Some of those hills were brutal with a full load.
Yeah have to say I wimped out and took the credit card option. I Recommend the Premier Inn in Marlborough. It’s a slight detour but it has a jet wash next door 🙂
We stayed in a pub in Churt for the second night.
Found it hard enough going just with overnight clothes so chapeau for carrying all the extra stuff. I need to go back and clear that evil climb up the Devil’s punch bowl next time.
Completely forgot it was a bank Holiday down in Englandshire on Monday and we headed south to the Lakes. Ended up with no dramas and a nice ride out.

Hi mate, shoulder getting stronger and confidence returning. Thanks for asking.
How's the collarbone ?
Slowly getting better.
Almost full mobility back in my shoulder and the pain is slowly getting less with each ride.
Rode 5 days last week and just got back from a ride at Inners this avo/evening.
Glad you're also on the mend.
Not being able to ride is pretty depressing.
