Is there a Wessex SR badge?
Two bits of new local info that might be of intrest to prospective Wessex SRs this year:there's a new Travelodge just opened right across the road from the station; and Axminster now has a costa coffee here: http://bit.ly/2iXtgFT
I've just posted my entry for the hard boiled today. I hope I'm not too late.Not sure where to park, or when/where to sleep before the event. Not sure I'm going to like a 2am start time, but I'll give it a try.
I got to sleep at 8pm and woke up at 12am

Aiming for 4 hours sleep on the Friday night.The Travelodge has free parking, but its limited. The Hamworthy Park suggestion sounds like a good alternative.
I found that when the sun came up (finally!) it was a great lift and boosted me for the rest of the day... something nice about seeing a sunrise on a bike.
My parking recommendation is on the street next to Hamworthy Park (where the WuZe started incidentally)

What exactly is/was the Wuze ? Porkers in disguise ... ?

"Thanks for the info, Chillmoister. Now I'm wondering what the route was ... Sounds like a typically challenging Wessex ride!
