Just a thought, prompted by tonights club night, but would any of the 2009 End-to-Enders kindly consider doing it for Tŷ Hafan?

Don't all rush at once to say you're in. If you are seriously interested then £100 deposit needed. We can only start planning and making bookings, if we have a commitment with some 'akkers'. Come on fellas lets go for it . In at the moment - Me and CJ anyone going to join us.?????????

The bit that concerns me is the flying back. Does that involve bike bagging?
Is there an alternative for those that don't want to fly? I don't mind taking an extra day to get back. _______________ Electric bikes are great. They give ordinary people the chance to know what it feels like to be me. |

Bill, bikes will be brought back in van with driver. Chatting about this with other interested parties- flying back is an option but might take almost as long when you take in to account travel to airport ,check in time, any flight delays and travel back from bristol. So options are still open traveling back by road still an option- plus driver will need some company on way back.

Just a word of advice for any End-to-Enders planning their holidays and how many days to take off work. Don't underestimate the journey back! You'll almost certainly need a day longer than you think, if only to recover from it as it's gruelling (especially after the ride itself).
In 2003, we left John O'Groats at 09.00hrs Sunday and, incredibly, were still in Scotland at nightfall and the Port Talbot boys got back home at 03.00hrs on the Monday morning. Mind you, we were towing a horsebox and had some 'fat jockeys' on board  ._______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character). |

All the advice is greatly welcome - will make sure the transport is good and no horse box this time- but would like some firm takers. Please let me know if your in and let's have some firm commitment with a deposit. 14 people at first meeting but only 2 deposits so far and one of them is me.

4 end to enders at the moment. Brilliant.
CJ Kev Rattenbury Martin Edwards and myself. I am sure there are more out there . C'mon lads want to start the ball rolling and make some firm bookings. Think of the fun we'll have putting the miles in next summer - heatwave due after the last two summers. |
