Great idea but probably not for me.......too much time on foot is somewhat disagreeable to the dodgy leg (especially in bike gear)
Indeed. But there is no obligation to stay all day long; you could depart any time you wanted to. Or you could sit down (or lie down) somewhere for a bit, if that would help.
Hope its a bit warmer this year, especially the ride there! Will be going with a few mates as DSC/DD will have a stand
