does anyone have have any interesting routes N to S Wales they would be willing to share??

Been made redundant so I have plenty of time on my hands and always wanted to do this.

Gpx file would be ideal

Proper hammocks IE: something you wouldn't be ashamed using in public

But do you have as many?

What does that mean?

Maybe i'll stick with cumulus

UKhammocks do some good stuff and UK made. I'd had really good experiences with them until last year. Hopefully it was just a blip. There's a UK based fella on ebay (Scotty) who does good stuff too. Just looked at the web page not a bad price and standard fit is 6ft 2" so just about right for ...

Ok thanks for the comments, looks like Cummulus is the way to go, its not clear how i do a custom order on the website do i just us the contact form?

Also will be using this in high mountains and probably all year round so thinking i go straight for the 450, do they also do colour choice?

I hope you mean real man size

PM sent fella please get back to me ASAP

So i'm looking to lighten my load as have a few big trips planned again this year and have been looking at quilts... im assuming as there is no back there has to be a weight saving? So far my fav has to be the Enlightened Equipment custom made ones but as its in the USA i'm gonna get walloped with i...

Yea i thought it would be a standard package across the board for MREW but after talking to my mate in central it seems all 4 S Wales teams recruit and train in various ways. I was lucky was taught to map read at early age and spending most of my time in the hills and having done a lot of climbing i...

I wondered if I was the only one on here - was somewhat surprised that I may have been. Final assesment is in twelve days, looking forward to it, and the trip to the pub afterwards should be fun ;) Aye, looking to do some courses next year - MOD 2 water for certain as we tend to have a lot of water...

No issues. And yes, it irked me. Hi Greg, only just clocked your post, i went onto the call out list in November last year, i'm now a member of Western Beacons Mountain Search and Rescue. I've been pretty lucky as well as i've been put on three courses, i'm SRT lvl 2 doing lvl 3 in March, I'm now a...

So after having a sub standard Christmas, Hot water tank ruptured around 3-4K to fix and being proper unwell over the festive period I really didn’t think this was gonna happen. But as with all things my mate said he’d come with me on the Thursday of Xmas week… only dun duuuun dun he bailed on Wedne...

Interested. How old is it? how much use has it seen, does it come with the original hard case, bike/helmet mounts and charger?

I see that fatbiking.eu have launched their own 'Bivvy a month' in accordance with the guidelines set out here. If completing BaM on a normal bike isn't enough for you, you can now do it with the hindrance of a fat bike :wink: All mine have been done on my fatty with 5" tyres does that make me...

11 of 12 Pembray A change of coast this trip and a wander and explore around Pembray We saw lots of dead things https://i.imgur.com/watuS7w.jpg I found a new summer Bivi Spot https://i.imgur.com/zLoHJAo.jpg We watched the sun go down from the top of the old pill box https://i.imgur.com/Jbd2qFt.jpg I...

I like the beach with blowing sand photo. Looks amazing, but hard work. What do you use for the wick of the baby bell candle? OK so save all the baby bell wax the important bit is the strip you pull off save that .... then tear a small strip of bog roll and roll it in your hands so it makes a twist...

October Hammock trip 10 of 12 ..... so having purchased a new hammock it was only right to find a good spot to faff around trying to get the thing up so me and Wayne opted for a re visit to the Gower and the stunning Cwm Ivy. We ditched the van at Pitton Cross campsite and then headed along the road...

The wee trip of much wetness and sore balls bivi 9 of 12. I find a lot of outdoor people in South Wales become obsessed with the Pen Y Fan region of the Brecon Beacons and never venture further that the Storey Arms or the traditional Gap route which while a cracking ride gets a bit boring after the ...

Cheers normally the discovery\s are food or drink related, i can give directions to most places by pub,cafe and snack van ... just don't ask me place names

August bivi trip 8 outta 8 ..... I was told while in training that all plans eventually go tits up when you hit the ground and so it was to be with my first attempt at getting Stu's Bi Bear route ticked off. My mate had expressed a interest in coming along, he's never bivi'd before :shock: So we dec...

Me and Robin are starting this tomorrow if you see two tired figures say hello i'll have my BB top on
