I have decided to finish our big ride (we started it in the summer but we had to pull out of after 75 miles due to the weather and Jess getting a massive hematoma on her back) M did the first leg with me but now she has decided she doesn't feel up to finishing it so I will be riding the last 50 or so miles alone, which I am happy to do, Jess is a rock star and so long as I can manage the map we will be fine 
Origianally it was planned for 2 longer days, but as we now have less daylight (I'm going to set off a week on friday) I'm going to split it into 3 days to be on the safe side. Mum is going to drive support again, though we are giving in and renting a little lorry so we can set up camp beds in the back rather than being in a tent but it also gives me piece of mind in case of emergency.
I'm excited to be finishing what I started, a little nervous as I only decided this weekend but we did a 22 mile ride just a couple of weeks ago and HRH was great. I guess I'm more nervous about where we are staying, Jess had M's TB for company last time, this time we will arrive alone and I'm worrying she will try to escape her corral to get to other horses, not that she ever goes near electric fence normally. Its all good experiance though, I want to ride wales next year and will be doing a lot of it solo, without even mum for support.
Has anyone used those apps which send an SOS if you are immobilised for too long? do they work well or have glitches? if it send an SOS to my mum unecessarily she will totally freak out I'd just rather be over cautious and I know mum is worrying already about me riding alone, I don't think she realises I spend a lot of time riding alone.
