Bean and Pepper chilli at Hartlebury (jet propulsion going north) with jacket potato, lentil and tomato soup going south, and lots of cake too. Free porridge donated by a friendly 'sponsor' too - look out for that.

Looking forward to this ride (sort of)  I have just tried accessing the drop box with the routesheet, gpx files etc. and I am getting a 404 error. Has anyone else had this issue? It worked earlier in the week, when I was able to download the gpx and tcx files.

same here. I assume the GPX and route sheet have not changed since I downloaded the "final" version on May 16?

If you can't convince, confuse.

Same here as well. The link contained in the email sent out today doesn't work.

Apologies, one of the embedded links in the email was duff.

Salvatore's link works, and there have been no changes since the previous email.

I'm going to send a fresh link later, along with details of the extra sleeping space available at Sheriffhales, 7km south of Lilleshall. There may also be roadworks in Weston to navigate.

Warning: dumb question time. I wrongly presumed that the sleep station was at the end of leg N5 in Chester and planned by sleeping strategy around that. Its actually at the end of N4/S1 right? In church Aston/lilleshall. Sorry for being dumb but wanted this clarified before I rejig my spreadsheet! Thanks

Suggest you don't print out the route sheets updated this morning yet. I've dropped a note to Daniel, as all the south bound segments are numbered S2.

(the excel one seems ok)

The "Control Times" worksheet in the Excel file also still lists Church Aston, rather than Lilleshall, as a control. Will drop email to Damian.
