Don't Simon. I have had to postpone my attempt twice and I want to do it
before I am 40, less than one summer left to achieve this.

My ultimate goal was to do a 200 mile double century , which I did aged 41

I'd rather do a 10 mile double century instead - sounds a lot easier!

cheers,

11 days is good going. I (59) have just done it in 14 days plus one
day off, but with (too heavy) camping gear. I included bits of Aran
and Skye.- 75 miles average per day a bit heavy going. 60 would have
been comfortable, 50 a doddle with sight-seeing diversions possible.
I was passed by one group doing it B&B lightweight planning 8 and half
days but most others I met were 3 weeking or more.
Weather & midges were [censored] - everything soaked and pongy by last day,
- a cycling compost heap.

cheers
