Hey all, going to ride the TCW soon, and I can't remember the water supply side of things.
I know there is water at Rhayader, Claerwen toilets, and Cwmystwyth campsite. With the current dry spell I want to use taps instead of rivers. What other taps have I missed? Some of the ride will be after dark, so I need easy to find, on route, but am ok with nipping up driveways to use taps on houses.
Please help!
TCW water stops - remind me?

Slight detour, but there are taps in Claerddu bothy IIRC. After the bothy, where you turn right to climb up into the forest, there's a house on the corner where you turn. Could probably get water there if you ask nicely. You could nip off Glyndyrs Way to the Star as well for a refreshing pint.

After Cwmystwyth campsite, it’s mostly streams from what I can recall.

Thinking hard about it Ian. The ground is dry for a good run, the biggest challenge in this weather is water, but I am thinking a 2 litre camelbak with a spare 500mL bottle for the night section.
There's been a lack of ITTs this year - not many are going for them (or maybe they are, but just not publicising it), so I am also thinking that it might kick off a few other attempts on other ITTs.
And I need to test some new shorts......

Good luck Steve!
Thinking of doing an ITT of a route up here end of this month. Watch this space.

Just received confirmation of another TCW ITT - Duncan Porter, moving W to E in a time of 11h 24m.
May the bridges you burn light your way
