Right, as the first one was a roaring success with a roaring tailwind back to Darlo afterwards, how about a re-run?
Date is now Friday 6th OctoberDead simple set-up - meet at Tan Hill onna Friday night, camp up, get pissed, ride back in the morning. Your basic overnighter.
Tan Hill is actually quite simple to get to onna bike - about 30-35 miles from Darlo on the east (depending on your route, and I'll be happy to guide a feeder ride from Darlo station as I'll just be riding up and camping). This might be tricky on this Friday as I won't be in Darlo, but shout up if anyone does fancy it.
Options from the west are Penrith station (a bit farther but with a better chance of a tailwind), Oxenholme (hilly), or change at Penrith - I think - for Kirkby Stephen and a likely tailwind. Kirkby Stephen on the Settle-Carlisle line is the closest station, at about 11 miles away. There are probably more options from the west.
Accommodation - camping is a fiver in the charity box. There are also bunk rooms, with limited availability, at £30 including breakfast. And there are private rooms at the pub. You can arrange any of this yourself if you give the pub a call. There's no need to arrange camping, but anything else - yeah.
Come if you can - cycling encouraged, but we had a campervan and lovely Mike came up in his car last week, so come however you can. It's more-or-less a meet-up for like-minded folk, and I'll invite the VC167 as well once we've settled on a date.
