[Closed] Views on The South Downs Way Lemming Trail event

Yes, 2 years ago and the views were absolutely stunning, mainly as it was a cracking day.

Also recommend that you book early and take a bed in the Youth Hostel.

Doing the whole route in a day is very achievable and that's without mentioning the [url= http://www.southdownsdouble.net/ ]SDD[/url] .

Unless you really fancy paying someone to do the organisational donkey work, DIY is a no brainer imo.

SDD is so last year 😉

It's the triple you need to aim for now;

Good to see someone trying for more 8) though ultra distance riding isn't exactly new.

Two of the Lewes Wanderers competed in the National Championship 24 hour time trial in Sussex last year and Paul Gibbons went on to finally complete the double 4 weeks later. Peter Baker, along with many other long distance riders, completed the 1200Km Paris - Brest - Paris. Pete clocked up over 20,000 miles last year!

I did it a couple of years ago...it's a well organised event.

Although I wasn't fit enough and found it very challenging, particularly the second day.

Second the above comment about the youth hostel, much more comfortable than camping. Although we ended up bunked with a 'snorer'.

I have done it before and it is a very good event where you don't have to lug your own stuff around, have food & drink & support laid on and most importantly means a much easier way to get back to the start.

Don't underestimate the last bit unless you have very understanding partners/friends.

Plus riding with a lot of others means you can hop in and out of groups easily. I went on my tod a few years ago and going with Trail Break was by far the easiest and most enjoyable way of doing it.

cheers for the all the answers

did it some years ago. Not particulary cheap but very well organised.
I was especially impressed with the volume and quality of food on offer.
If you dont know the route, aren't comfortable riding it unsupported and need to take two days, it's a great option.
Most of the other riders are very friendly and you always pick up some gate opening partners/groups, which is very handy.
