Re: Tragical Mystery Tour - crowdpacking?
Yeah, thanks V, sorry about the radio silence. So I've decided to tag my ride onto the back of an outing with two of my bestie Normal mates, who I've been out with for the past two days.

Re: Insonia cures?
I suggest asking your GP for a gadget that monitors your breathing overnight whilst you sleep. You may be going through a sleep/wake cycle caused by interrupted breathing patterns.
Simple to monitor, but could provide a few evidence-based courses of action to consider.

Re: I need to get familiar with intercity train travel
Prior to visiting your local station to reserve a bike place, it helps to have a quick look on www.nationalrail.co.uk to find trains with the fewest changes for your long-distance journey.
It makes reserving simpler and takes the worry out of making connections .
