The next epic adventure...

Post by weeksy »

I was sitting chatting with @crust on the way home from Belgium and we were thinking about "what next to keep the training going etc"

I was googling about and thought "ok, how about this one"

It's mostly local, mostly viable and an adventure for sure. As it's 350km it's going to have to be at least 3 if not 4 days i think. However that could easily end up being 5 days.... Which i'm thinking is likely too much for an adventure type thing..

But it's certainly something to think about.

Maybe an easier but slightly less Epic would be 107km of Ridgeway.....

I know a load of people who've done the KAW and rave about it. I'm tempted. All say it's very doable in the three days.
