Re: HT550 Grand Depart - May 2022

I was aiming for a 9th May start, but the 14th could work. Probably be governed by the forecast.

Yeah - looks like around 4-5 hrs kip north of Pocklington, Yorkshire Wolds. Click on a name in the leaderboard and look for the green tent symbol. Just noticed it shows when messages are sent via SPOT too - blue envelope symbol.

Huckaback NEIPA It's nice! Agreed - one of the best beers to be found in an average supermarket. Vocation 'Hop, Skip and Juice' and Northern Monk 'Faith' here. Both good and £1.50 a can for Tesco Clubcarders. Faith in futures, is delicious. If you like it a little more "rocket fuel-y" I'd...
