Last review meeting

Ray and I met up on Saturday to have a last check through.

Items on the agenda were:
Bike bags for on the plane back,
Train tickets,
Kit lists,
Route!

I had seen a £45 bike bag, but had not bought it as it was so expensive, for one use. You don't think I'm doing this again do you?
Ray had bought a thick sheet of plastic, and is going to tape it together at the airport.
Afterwards I checked the CTC website and found that they sell a thick clear plastic bag, for less than £10, but they are out of stock. A quick look on eBay and I found a bag to put a mattress in, so that should arrive on Tuesday, so hopefully easier than just a sheet of plastic, but with it arriving so late, it better do.
All I need to be able to do now is take my peddles off.

After a bit of hunting through my LeJoG folder, I found all the tickets and reservation numbers and gave Ray his ticket and bike reservation number.

Our two kit lists are very similar, mine has slightly too much electronics and cables, and Ray's has slightly too many drugs.

There has been one accommodation change and we are now staying in a nice looking B&B on the 5th night at Avonmouth right next to J15 of the M5.

The total distance is now up to 1115 miles.
Ray is doing amazing work on the route, with both electronic versions and A5 cards for each day.

Cheers
Paul
