AUK National 400 2016

[Gez73]

Thinking of doing this next year, anyone done one? It's being hosted if that is the correct term by Peak Audax and is fairly local to me. Only concern is the sleeping bit. Could/should it be attempted without the sleep element? Will have the prep done for the distance , just not sure of the benefit of the time spent trying to get sleep in a strange place.
Any help appreciated,
Gez

No need to sleep for a 400 ime. Dig deep and push through.

Cheers for that @Simpleton will attempt to do the ride without the sleep element as long as the prep goes to plan. Don't like sleeping in strange or unfamiliar surroundings. Thanks again. Gez

If it's the one that's just come up via Google, is it on 25th July?

Contrary to popular belief you don't have to sleep in a bus shelter or a bivvy bag by the side of the road. You can book a hotel and crash for a few hours, sleeping in an actual bed does wonders.

That is the link if it works.
Biggest distance for me but will be ready. Was unsure about the sleep element. I probably wouldn't sleep well anyway. Gez

If it was couple months earlier I'd do it. I'm doing the 1000 at start of July!!

Could do with a 400km warmup never done anything like it before
