June 13th is almost the only option then.  Bet it clashes with something else.

Yup.

The 100th Anniversary of the birth of Mary Whitehouse.
It is simpler than it looks.

Fuck yeah, let's do it!

(someone had to say it)

I can't currently do that weekend either, but then midsummer is always busy, so just go for it.

I'm assuming you mean leave Avonmouth on Saturday midnight (12th)?  I'm not scheduled for anything else crazy then.

With a Railcard, it's only £10 from Paddington.

We need eight nutters who can sustain a fair pace.  Really needs to be an even number, too.

Given the odds of >=1 dropout with that large a group, I REALLY wouldn't worry about even numbers! (and it makes sod-all difference in reality)

I can do the 12th if the start is Avonmouth at midnight.

I am officially declaring that...there's not enough interest for this.  Maybe next year.

Too fast for me. Or I am too fat for it, or something like that.

What about another FNRttS on the same date?  Either self-sufficiency (I can take the touring bike and a stove/kettle) or we can go via the 24-hour Tesco.
