Met up with Trish and Pam in the New Forest yesterday (from my ride) and did about 17 miles of mud covered, rain drenched off road.  We did enjoy it but you could have wrung our clothes out half way through the day and it was like cycling through superglue on some stretches!  Good practice for the bumpy Rajasthan roads I guess. Hope everyone gets their visas through quickly so you can relax and focus on the packing, travel, etc (oh, and not to mention that brief little jaunt on a bike when you get there)...To the Peaks crew - you have such determination that I am sure you will fly through, and I know you will have a great time doing it. Just don't buy up all the goodies in the shops before the rest of us arrive! Kris    Report

I packed all my toiletries,snacks, medication, creams, powders,wipes,cycling gear, sleeping bag, towel, no idea on weight but my bag is full to busting and I haven't put any clothes in for other days pyjamas or underwear or shoes! How big a bag is everyone taking? I was using a 75 litre rucksack, thought it would be plenty big  enough, Good job I didn't leave it til Thurs  to pack! SusanneX    Report

My bag is 64cm x 38cm x 37cm approx - full to brim. Have bigger bag, but don't want to take that as it just looks huge! I am not taking hairdyer, straightners - unheard of for me. But then this whole thing is so out of character for me - well the old me anyway! I will worry what I look like when I see the photos! Its all part of the fun. Feeling quite upbeat about it all now. Especially now the snow has come to Nottingham. Can't wait for sunshine! Talking to my Auntie on the phone today. She is at a Fellowship Graduation Dinner at Sheffield Hallam University with my Uncle and Lord Winston (and a few others obviously!) on Saturday evening! That'll be why he's not coming out with us at he start then! BRING IT ON!!!!!        Report

I am fed up now so just going to bed and will have another go tomorrow, it would be fine without all this cycling stuff!!!! But am well excited, I'm with you Sarah... BRING IT ON!!!!!    Report
