I was thinking that but I'm busy when it gets nearby. Yorkshire. Where is it on Saturday - south?

Noone is riding on either Saturday, except the very few HD stragglers (oh, and the fullest of full value 1600 starters for a few minutes after Friday midnight).

Looks good. I was aware of the pop-up dorms (well rooms) hence: "using the controls for any break (aka sleep stop) between those days."
Given the low metres/km south of the Humber and the general pattern of riders slowing down day by day, I think it's reasonable to expect people, even 'no 300 this year' Matt with a 10:15 start, to make Hessle unless a 'well after lunch' start.
I'm quite keen to get and stay ahead of the bulge (0830 start) but not sensible to try to make Hawick for Night 2, so Brampton it is (305 + 276) and hope I'm tired enough when it's still light to sleep and leave in the wee hours. But then Innerleithen will be too short and Brampton far too long, so I reckon I might be on a mat (carried) in a corner of Eskdalemuir school (ahead of the bulge).

I’d look at Newcastleton or Hermitage Water for Mon night. That would then put Brampton in range on Tue night.

Having volunteered I know they're basically full in England, with spaces in Scotland. I'm in Louth volunteering for the northbound bit.

Richmond Team Leader roles dished out. I am one of the two in charge of the marshalling teams. I will also be in charge of the team setting up the route in and out of the control. Looking forward to it.

Final LEL practice done this weekend, on the Wander Wye 600k audax, which was quite tough with the hours of continuous rain. I was fairly pleased with the experience, in that I finished in time (just!) and without any serious body problems in back, neck or knees, although I still have a big dilemma with saddles as the old one I'd switched back to was just as uncomfortable as the Brooks at the end of 2 long days.

So unless you have a bit of a lie in, hope to see you at the start. I'm volunteering all day Saturday at the bar/shop so come say hello.

8:30 S8 me: see you (Thursday pm, Friday & Saturday) but not for 5:15 Sunday. Where do you plan to take your first break longer than an hour? I'm stopping just short of Barton.
I won't be stopping for more then an hour until I at least get to Malton. All the other stops/controls between Writtle and there, no more then 20 mins. Well... that's my plan.
