Dont think ill be riding this route in a hurry dave!

Porter or Gove then?

You appear to have some weird MTB-related jihad being waged against you

That's why I've binned the road bike, character building's where its at.

I did this ride yesterday .. so you don't have to.

Sounds like most of the bridleways round where I live then.

Is that Loch Lomond section the hikey-bikey bit of the WHW, should I pack extra swearing?

Thanks, that is where I was thinking of. Hopefully I can find a chippy in Axminster on the way The route I have is legal all on bridleways, http://my.viewranger.com/route/details/NDc0OTE= I'm a Wiltshire lad so not worried by livestock, gives me something to shout at. I'm, pretty sure it will be a m...

Short notice, I'm getting off a train at 9pm tomorrow night at Axminster and heading to the Wessex Ridgeway. Going really lightweight with just the bivi bag and a summer bag.

Anyone camped near Wootton Hill, Champernhaves Marsh area? Or can recommend a good sheltered spot nearby.

Does it come in any other colours

Rich I will have a look at those dates and let you know, probably unlikely as it clashes with the Shindig. But you might change your mind when you hear that I am the holder of feck all BCU certificates. Our place is in Brixham, I could meet you somewhere near Kingswear as going round Berry Head and ...

Brilliant, mental but brilliant. I'm glad you did this so we don't have to.

Dave ... you need to go on a packraft adventure and make a film of it

An idiot aboard.

Looks like a great trip and I hope it's not long before you can canoe without stabilisers ;-)

Been down in Devon all week diving and kayaking and I've put two and two together with all my sea kayak and bike packing kit.

Think I might do a trip out from Torbay in the near future. I'm assuming it's the same as bike packing but with more whales?

Thanks Rob, Stu supplied the (decent) photos for that.

I'll be following you round for sure Rich

I've got the Spot3 and been well impressed with battery life. You can borrow and try out if you want Rich

I was on my way to watch it live .. unfortunately someone jumped in front of a train at Ealing Broadway. I'm now back at the office.

Install Garmin basecamp then you can create maps for free using this site http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ and export the GPX out of it.

I've done this in France, USA, Sardinia so should work in Spain

My mate Dennis rode LEJOG at the age of 80. He asked me to find out if he was the oldest guy to do it. So far I think he maybe but I told him that no doubt somebody would pop out of the woodwork having done it older. Dennis replied:- "If they do, can you tell me their age and I'll bloody well g...

Can i ask what software you use for editing, ive tried loads and cant get any of them to do what i want......maybe its just me??

This was my first go with Final Cut Pro X. Not really got to grips with it properly yet.

Wait till I have a go at the Lakelands loop then Rich.

What happened to the Trekker tent ? It looked good that one..

This trip convinced me to never leave it behind. I was trying out going with no poles to save weight but sleeping in the midge net is just not for me.

Please let someone get the climbing joke. My family tumbleweeded at that one.

After my epic fail on the HTR 550 I needed to test out a new arse, new saddle and some new mind control techniques in order to bring back my bikepacking Tao. In haste I downloaded a C2C route for Wales from Llandudno to Swansea and jumped on a train Friday evening to try and knock it off over 3 days...
