I am up for this one, should it be revised. Based in Lancaster but happy to do 25 miles to collect and 25 to deliver, example of pick up in Kendal and drop off in Preston, Clitheroe, Clapham or similar. if somebody coul get it to Lancaster I could probably drop it with woolly and Peli' in Skipton.

Supposing we, er, reincarnate lebaton, could it perhaps, in a Dr who sort of way, return as mme labatonne?

I think this is the most astonishing bike-based mission I have ever read (let alone known the antagonists). But it may also be the most obscure/niche thing that I could possibly have to explain to a member of the public  :facepalm:

Good work iddu!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That is wonderful! I take it that you have taken it to John O'Groats now? It's just over 4 years since it was last seen.
