Final version of Welcome Letter, Routesheet and GPX track of the DPB 100 sent out to current entrants.

I still have spaces for the 100, but getting to close to needing to close the 200 to new entries sooner than later.

I've only three places left open on the DPB 200.

I was going to say "I walked past there at the weekend" but it was a different one. Wikipedia lists four places called Devil's Punchbowl, the one I saw isn't on the list, so I guess there are probably several more.

The Devilspunch Bowl is the one near the Hindhead tunnel and the pathway/Bridelway is the old A3. Historically the route is the turnpike between London and Portsmouth.

The 200 is now full so a waiting list will be established

The 100 is nearly full now and again a waiting list will be established if needed

I really enjoyed riding the 200 yesterday.
Its not an area I had really ridden before and there were some lovely views.
Plenty of food and drink at Thursley and the Arrivee.
Only mildly spoilt by breaking a spoke 1km before Pease Pottage followed by a slow nervy crawl for the last 50km

Thanks
