Stage 4: Bristol to Aberystwyth - Dragrad

JDC has, if possible, indicated that he can meet me at Aberystwyth, a really Long haul for him to come down, and then double back.... Any volunteers to fill this gap to North Wales?

If 48rov06 can do Cardiff to Swansea (30 m), then eurorover can do Swansea to Carmarthen (30m), then thorfun can do Carmarthen to Fishguard (30m), Then I can do the Fishguard to Aberystwyth run (58m) (Longest run on this leg, and it would mean a 20 mile run south to Fishguard and then doubling back to head North for Aberystwyth ). Unless there is another volunteer to fill a gap?

I'm sure that JDC has got N.Wales pretty well covered

I guess it will depend on the timing and direction of the legs... (?) as to whether the volunteers can do the legs.

I trust that all volunteers are aware that this could be scheduled for some pretty unsociable hours

Just need someone to cover Bristol to Cardiff (Newport (?), if 48rov06 cannot accommodate?) Any takers?

If those members mentioned (for Stage 4) could PM me with the routes that they will do it would be a help Any new volunteers please post to this thread so that I, and Andrew can pick up on the pledge <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
