Another one bites the dust, literally in this case. I don't even have a good excuse really. I never thought it would come to this but I've got so much going on at home with various DIY projects around the building work in the kitchen that finally started this week (it would be this week wouldn't it), unusually stressful work situations (which I've been dealing with while the wall under my feet is knocked out and the dust covering my keyboard as I'm typing), and trying to keep my OCD partner sane while I and various other people knock bits of the house down around her and cover the rest of the house, and I mean all of it (hence literally biting the dust), in a layer of dust. I've barely had the time to ride recently, unless it involves a trip Screwfix. I got up at 5.30 last Sunday and knocked out an 80 mile road ride before going back to more DIY, which convinced me that the YD300 might be a go-er, for a while. But I don't have the energy, mental, or physical, to properly prepare for a bikepacking trip, and I can't justify 4 nights away from home at the moment - I was going to combine it with a trip to visit my sister, who's going back to work next week after having my niece, who's nearly 1 and I've met once, so I'm going to do that at the weekend instead. Priorities.
TL;DR Sorry for the brain dump, not doing the YD300
Looks like there's plenty of spare tickets that were before mine, but anyone would be welcome to take my place.
Thanks techno and Bob for putting the list of resupply points together, very useful, and still will be in the future. As recently as last weekend, I put them all, straight from techno's map, into a GPX of POIs to load into Viewranger (should work with other apps/devices too), so I'll leave this link here in case it's of use to anyone, fill yer boots:

Good luck if you're still riding, sorry I'm not going to meet some of you.
