Maybe a vague route could be worked out an members from various areas could contact local campsites/pubs though i realise this may be detracting from the free spirited idea.
Hate to be so practical but just a thought.

Hi,
This is pretty much what I think. These things (and I expect Lumb Farm is included in this) are relaxed and informal and SUCCESSFUL because some poor bugger has spent months organising every last detail. You have to have some organisation or it would just be a shambles.
I think the various nights accomodation would have to be pre-booked and paid up in advance like Lumb Farm. If you only choose to do two or three nights then that's bad luck, the price would unlikely be prohibitive anyway. Like Lumb Farm you'd have to limit numbers. As for route you could have an 'official' route recommended by a rider local to each leg. People would obviously be free to choose their own route, but I ride on my own a lot. The novelty of sharing my ride with dozens (or even more!) riders interests me a lot!
I'd be happy to organise a Scottish leg or reccomend a route or research some accom.
Matt
