Downs link and Shipwrights Way again 🇬🇧

This year, I didn’t train much, cancelled 2 gravel events as I didn’t train properly so was no point.Now, summer around the corner and have finally weekends sort of free, decide to start again, be on bike 2-3-4 times a week, so i started. Did 30 and 40km this week, yeah.
Another few or several weeks and I’m ready for some overnighters with nice climbs, etc .But, had and itch, on Saturday, why wait several weeks.
If i do some easier route, stretch 80k into a day with many breaks, lunch, dinner, that’s almost like 50k in the morning on a road, no?So, remembered on chat group someone posted ok, flattish route, around 300km so if i take a train and so only 170k over two days, that’s doable.Prepared the bike, nicely, some nice 650 wheels, packed tent, sleeping bag and other stuff, planned the route and was ready to go next day.
