Right after long last I am back, I took the routes as I said earlier. Through wragby on the way there and through market/middle raisen on the way back. Was a nice drive too.
I am hoping you all trust me on this one, but the way there (via wragby) is much better. It is 2.4 miles longer though at 40.8 miles. it is much flatter and roads seemed more peaceful with less traffic.
The way back whcih took us through binbrook was like a section of a rally stage, steep hills everywhere through binbrook, I am sure city mariners GPS will agree with me on that, very twisty but when in market raisen and onto the a46 it was very direct very flat and was even a nation cycle route in one place. At 38.4 miles this route is shorter but I think will be alot more tiring.

I would like some one else to try out the route I recommend just as a second opinion.
PM me for details of the route if you want it anyone.

all i can say is thank god for fast broadband and torrent sites - i could never afford this software!


You mean you don't pay for it?? Of course, as a Vicar I couldn't possibly steal software.

Bloody hell, I go to work for a few hours and come back to 3 more pages. Thanks to everyone who has contributed some more to this. Big news.

Morrisons have given me the day off so I can participate. They have also said we can do bucket collections, on condition that a couple of us go in and pack bags for a few hours. It's not really that harder work and will help us massively when it comes to a final figure.

They also gave me the day off on Friday for when I go to the test at Headingley, but that doesn't really matter much.

Its not too bad to be fair its nothing on the scale of binbrook, its gradual at the most. there is a way round it but its complicated and it could be just as bad we dont know. Its lots of little side roads may even be longer by the looks of google earth.
I will simplify the route as best as I can for you in the message, its quite nice its pleasing on the eye I will give it that.
