    When I did something similar, I found that carrying the camping stuff was a bit of a PITA given that, even split into two, it's a couple of long days out..

    Re: learning BGR sections

    I've no idea of the practicalities, but I've wondered about whether it's possible to dump a bike at the end of various sections to get back to your starting point? Or possibly dumping a car at the end and then cycling to the start?

    Not that I've got any intention of a BGR.....
