The first day would be the current second day, so 31 miles. The second day would be something similar again - the whole of the Cotswold Way from its start in Chipping Campden to the finish in Bath is 102 miles. Not sure how the Stroud to Bath section rates in terms of scenery and hilliness though...
Well done Bear - I did the first day but finished with horrendous blisters on both heels and a horrible cough. I was hoping for a miraculous recovery overnight but that never happened, so decided not to do the second day. My feet are very grateful! I've not done Pilgrims so can't compare, but I thought the first day was pretty tough, especially that long drag up to Belas Knap, and then the final push around Cleeve Common and down into Bishop's Cleeve which went on forever!
Lovely event though, and a beutiful route
With the transport issues perhaps they would be better off starting the event in Bishop's Cleeve (easy to get to Cheltenham station), overnighting at Stroud and then finishing the second day in Bath?
Definitely go for separates - makes the whole loo thing soooo much easier. As far as price goes, have a browse on the internet. There are heaps of places flogging tri gear, and lots of special offers. And don't rule out ebay...
