There was one rider who made it to the end of day 2 but didn't finish. Me! I got back to LW 10 mins before time (0750 Sunday). Up till then I had had 90 mins sleep at LW after Leg 1 and four roadside dozes on the way back from Cilgerran -so at least two or three hours sleep had to be the next thing. In my befuggled state I just thought well that's it , no chance now. So I packed. The fact that Mrs JayP (Elaine) and camper van were at LW made packing an easier choice.
I enjoyed the rest of the weekend helping out at LW, and the nice pub-lunch John treated us to, but my regret at packing has kicked in and mounted daily since. This post, if I'm honest, is me trying to exorcise the regret demon.
I am now astonished that I failed to calculate that from 8am Sunday I could have had 4 hours rest at LW and still have had 23.5 hours ( AUK times from 0630 start) remaining for the remaining 350k - ample. Phil Dyson did attempt to explain my options to me but I cut him short which was both rude and stupid. So MC1K is unfinished business for me.
