Sadly sacked it on Saturday evening when reaching the George Borrow Hotel, after somehow killing my charger bank. Only my third bikepacking outing but certainly learnt more on Saturday than I did on my other outings together! 1. A sleeping bag stuffed in a waterproof bivi bag then stuffed in a water...

I've been using OS 1:50,000 mapping on my iPhone which can be bought and pre-loaded for the whole of the UK for less than 100 quid now through Memorymap (Ordnance Survey's own outlet).
