  I think I can count 8 sleeps for my one PBP experience. The one thing I excel at in audaxing is being able to fall asleep.
  3x in the control's beds, all were fine and well organised. 1x nap on floor of control, could have done with my blow up pillow. And 4x short naps on side of the road, one of which was at night and way too cold for just the space blanket I had. Therefore only thing I'd really change is to take a pillow.

  Trains booked, got the 06h00 and 20h01. £40. There's a slightly later train out, but I couldn't seem to a get bike reservation. 8pm back seemed like a sensible number of beers.
  I have very little idea of what I've signed up for. But I did see on Countryfile (I confess) the highest village pub at Flash, which we may go near.

  Of course, badly maintained 26k km and it still has all its teeth. Thank god chainrings are tougher than chains.

  Was really hungry, but Subway's teriyaki fake meat is excellent. Texture, chewiness and flavour.
