For OCD reasons, is it acceptable to ask for this in alphabetical order?

Feels a little odd already thinking about something 11 months away.  I need to focus on stuff a month away damnit.
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

OMG. I love this thread. I hope - in time - to see separate threads for:
- travel to Arran
- travel home
- ECE speeds
- Mark's app suggestions
- ferry times
- rides TG has done that are in some way vaguely related
- how TG would ride it
- feckin GPS questions
- menus en route

... I'm sure they will evolve in good time.

Ok, let's talk about it in May, I won't have the car and we'll need to get there somehow. Train does sound better though with a more sensible 200 from Carlisle.

I am in. The travel is interesting. This year I cycled up to Scotland and caught the sleeper back from Inverness. With the start time on Monday it is possible to get the sleeper to Glasgow on Sunday night and then get to the start in good time.

I am luck and have relatives quite near the start. I have options and will organise closer to the time. With the sleeper trains I got a good price on the return to London. The tickets are released 12 weeks out and if you get on the morning with the ScotRail website you can get a good price.

Deviation! That's not in alphabetical order and because no-one else has noticed until now you are all going to have to edit your posts.

No, thinking about it, editing isn't good enough as there will still be traces of non-alphabetical lurking in there somewhere. It's safer to delete the posts and do it again.

Ah I notice other members that are also OCD. Is there a lot of us in Audax?

I suspect you've seen this - and are in fact yanking our chains - but if not, read this:

Reading about this event, and after first venture into Scotland, during LEL, was such a good
experience, and on a general high after said event made me go for it:
