I could hire one when I am there, it would be a full size mountain bike, really could do with a fold up but I need a bike for country riding. I live in the middle of the city but also very fortunate to live near some wonderful countryside so I can cycle for miles and miles without seeing a single car.
When I used to go on these trips with mates I did all the organising but there would sometimes be arguments when we got there. Also my mate used go with often just wanted to relax and rest where I just wanted to go onto a train to some random place.
Its at night I get bored but will take the internet, my Grado headphones armed with Spotify and a couple of quiet pints of locally made cider in a pub by a log fire and I will be fine.
There is always a stigma attached when people do things like this alone but I don't see a problem with it, I spent all weekend in pubs and restaraunts with my mates and probably go out socialising as much as younger pensioners and students.
As usual I shall me making my now three year old Panasonic Lumix FZ7 a big workout it will be a chance to sharpen my photography skills.
