The high level plan


Here is the basic plan:
  • Meet up in Bristol (location to be confirmed) early on July 20th
  • A van will be available to transport overnight stuff to Glastonbury (courtesy of Richard Clutterbuck, Ella's close friend Amy's Dad)
  • Follow Sustrans route 3 to Glastonbury - about 40 miles (mainly cycle paths and back roads)
  • Camp over night at the Isle of Avalon camp site, a short distance from Glastonbury town centre (cost around £12 per tent plus £2 per person - more details to follow)
  • If you want more comfort than a tent, please make your own arrangements for B&B in Glastonbury.
  • A pub meal will pre-booked for all (who want it) at the "Who'd have though it" pub (cost £10-15 for main courses)
  • July 21st cycle home
Please note that this is not a formal event of any sort. You will be doing the cycle ride as a personal challenge and the risk taken in doing so is entirely yours. We will be offering safety advice for those who feel they need it and there will be some experienced cyclists involved to offer support and advice. We will set of in small groups to ensure we are strung out along the route to avoid over crowding (so no forming pelotons!)

The Avon and Somerset Police have been contacted and informed we are doing this and the advice from PC Nick Shaw is as follows: "Thanks for the info. If you are not going to cause any traffic problems then no need to let us know."
