Yes, we do.
I'm contemplating what the best thing is. We probably don't want people to reveal their home addresses/phone numbers etc over the Internet.

Could we not just have a Fetch WIKI article which people add or delete to as appropriate - perhaps those doing the walks/challenges list what they are doing and when and the areas in which they would be likely to wish to stay and then Fetchies who can help can fmail them or post in the article that they are in a particular area and the person doing the challenge gets in touch.
For example I would help if I could but there would be various factors to consider. If I saw a Fetchie who hates or is allergic to dogs was doing a long distance walk right past my house I wouldn't offer them accommodation because I have a dog. But in other circumstances if a Fetchie was doing a walk and the route took them nearish (say 10/15 miles) then I might be prepared to offer something and go and pick them up/drop them back from their route.

I think SarahL stayed with Fetch contacts when she did her Lejog cycle ride so we know it *can* work. Pros - RAK Cons - axe murderers.

There is already the warmshowers site aimed at cyclists. We've hosted a few and it's been no problem for us.
