Q5. What do you do if a route you planned is suddenly closed for repairs and no detour is marked?

A5. This happened at Bridgwater in the middle of a Lejog ride: the canal path we were following was interrupted by a large construction project. We'd had luck with a few closed roads allowing cycles through up to the point, so continued on. We were soon slogging through deep mud.
A security guard directed us to an exit, and we eventually found our way back to the course. We spent half an hour the next morning cleaning the mud off our bikes!

A5. A day or two later on the same ride, a similar situation: the cycling course was interrupted by construction. In this case we could see the temporary office on the grounds, so we got someone's attention.
"You didn't hear this from me, but if you continue along there you'll come to a temporary bridge someone's made of pallets."
It was after the pallet bridge we got lost. Eventually found where we wanted to be.
