Right, as some of you well know, I'm hoping to arrange a decent run for us Sussex folk (& any foreign folk from the adjoining counties)

This is to start getting an idea of realistic numbers...I have to apologise that the run isn't sooner but I'm a bit pre-occupied the next month with preparing to disappear for a fortnight to the Alps with a bunch of PH'ers, hence the below dates.

Details so far:

Date for the run is provisionally the 19th of September (Weather depending) otherwise it will be the 26th.

Expected start time is 6:45AM @ Pease Pottage Services off the M23

Route is to be roughly 60-75 miles & shall mean we finish up on the South Coast in time for a hearty breakfast.

UPDATE:
A very tiny segment of the route for those that want a taster...If you know where it is, shhhh! If you don't know where it is, you'll love it smile

What sort of direction is the route likely to take?

East.

We all head for the 272 regularly & I'm sure there will be a proper run of that at some point...For now something "new" I guess as I imagine most dont normally head East as much yes
