Why not do what we used to do, namely, take some clothes you are content to dispose of and after wearing them, then dispose of them!

I imagine a left luggage facility for the folk riding LEL might be something the organisers might wish to leave to entrants to sort.  Although the last PBP did have one that I used, slightly larger organisation.

Get to the local charity shop and choose an outfit that can be donated to others after your Saturday night in London.

There was a separate storage room in 2013. It got pretty full .. plans are to do the same for 2017 .. but there are 500 extra riders .. whether we will have a 50% larger storage area .. I am not sure. The area was not locked , but it would be quite odd for a theft to take place as LEL people are around all the time.. You will need to leave your stuff very clearly identifiable .. as it could be at the back / bottom of a large heap .. and at the end .. people finishing before you will have turned the place upside down trying to find their kit.

Hope this helps

Stash non-ride stuff in a dry bag in a hedge, is wot I dun in similar circumstances. Hope enough grey cells are working after 1400km to find said hedge.

The posts above indicate 'plans' for a left luggage facility at the start, anyone know if this is confirmed?

Last time we had a large room which took left luggage .. no system .. you just put it in and found it when you finished . It may have been locked while no one was around .. I do not remember .. but once people are accessing it .. it is open.

we have 50% more riders this time .. do not know whether we have 50% more capacity.

Sounds okay, thanks
