Doing WRT and Jennride now... Still undecided between the 100miler and the lakeland200, I'm thinking the 100, I would have had my fill of hike'a'bike from the previous weekend knowing my previous route choices.

Numbers up to 167 should be a good weekend filling the hills with stream sipping bike packers!!

Massive thanks to all those entered plenty of space for you on the fencers :-)

I'm planning to do the Lakeland 200 route. Undecided whether to take my more "bikepacking friendly" rigid plus bike, or whether I'd feel the benefit of my full-sus on the more technical bits. Never used the latter for bikepacking. No chance of a frame pack, so I'd be limited on what I could carry, but that may not be a bad thing! Any thoughts on this from any of you who know the route?

The 200 is one of the few routes where I would consider using a rucksack. Has plenty of hike-a-bike. Plenty.

I’d agree with Ian. I did most of it over a couple of days a few years back on a rigid bike. I would definitely ride my full sus bike next time-even if it meant wearing a rucsac

Thanks for the insight. Yes, had considered a rucksack as well. Better practise my TLS. And maybe tubeless my full-sus.

I'm probably being a bit dim here and the info is out there somewhere, but what's the situation for camping on the Friday night? I'll be turning up with a car so is there somewhere I can leave it for the weekend?

There's a field next to the brewery/startline, plenty of room.

Crikey! Two fine hot weekends in a row :-bd We did have some heavy rain on Saturday night but it had cleared by morning.

Here's some shots from the weekend

I'll third that! It was a great event made even better by wall to sunshine and many enroute pubs :grin:

Cheers Rich, we had a blast!

Yup, cracking route and a lovely event all round, thanks Rich.

The weather was grim on Saturday night if you opted for just a bivvy bag :oops: but more than made up for it by the sun before and after.

A lot of the time, the view to my left was somewhat obscured :wink: :

One of my favourite moments was early on Sunday morning, having set off at 5, cold and damp, lost two unsecured Eccles cakes on the first descent, and having only a half eaten Snickers left for breakfast, I bumped into a milkman. Pint of full fat please!

PS Can only see one photo on your link Bob.
