Also, keep an eye on this when you get a bit closer.  It’s nice not to be threading though a few hundred sponsored walkers if you can avoid it!

I just read that on one of the websites, will definitely avoid those dates.

Brilliant video that btw!

Ha ha – Naked Rambling Man! Bumped into him quite a few times over the years, most recently a couple of weeks ago.

Holy cow batman! It was quite hard today.! Hotter than I would have preferred;-)

I did it though…..hurrah for me.  🙂

Good effort that man!

Thanks cogglepin.

I just watched seosamh’s vid  – quite good. But that bloke in it didn’t look as knackered as I did at the end! ha.

this is on my bucket list (living close to the Winchester end) but I just don’t have the bike fitness at the moment –

I would be relying mainly on Concept 2 rower fitness which definitely helps on 2-3 hour rides but not the full SDW.  Maybe I’ll try next summer assuming we get some decent weather again…

I heard the SDW Trailwalker event was cancelled this year at short notice due to the heat – it was scheduled for the same weekend as the BHF SDW ride so I guess the powers that be thought MTBers could handle it?

If it was the actual Naked Rambler (the bloke from Eastleigh) he wouldn’t have bothered covering his modesty up as Neil Donoghue describes

Which means there’s more than one???
