Re: BB200 The night before…
If you want something more scenic, the car park / viewing spot which overlooks the reservoir on the road between Llanbrynmair and Llanidloes is a favourite for vans. That's if it's not rammed already! There's another carpark just down the hill at the dam that's usually empty. I’ll try my luck on a ...

Re: BB200 The night before…
The Star used to be the favoured spot but that's now closed. Some will likely be in the Wynnstay Arms in Llanbrynmair which has a car park directly opposite.

BB200 The night before…
Hi all, not done the BB200 for a good number of years and wondering whether anyone knows of any good van sleeping spots for the night before. Pretty sure I stayed in a pub car park or a car park near a pub last time… is that still a thing? Any other suggestions? Thanks all and see some of you in Nov...

Bikepacking with a dropper seatpost
Hi all, Just looking for solutions and ideas for protecting dropper posts whilst bikepacking. I would usually use a normal seatpost but I've got a new bike and the dropper is internally routed and hydraulic (never even knew hydraulic seatposts were a thing!) so I'd rather leave it in place. I don't ...

I've not used my tarp for a couple of years now so seeing if there is any interest for it on here... It's an Alpkit bicycle 7 in 'Kelp'. I've used it probably 5 times and it's in great condition. The stuff sack has a few marks on it as it's been in my 'outdoor stuff box' for a while... Anyway, is £7...

Stu, it had crossed my mind but I'm on a fairly tight schedule so not sure I can get up there really, it's quite far from England with a Bridge. I have been very much enjoying riding in mid-Wales recently though and am riding Ian Barrington's 2 ton of gravel in a few weeks with Karl. Should be fun! ...

Garmin Etrex mounts
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows any etrex mounts (for stem or bars) that are better than Garmin's own plastic one with cable ties?
I've used this one for a good few years now, but can't help but think there must be something better out there???

This is interesting. I've just got back from a weekend bikepacking in mid Wales. We rode in the pissing rain for 2 days and stayed at Moel Prysgau bothy. We had a great time. The ethos of the trip was to ride with heavy bags, full of steak, various cheeses, port, whisky... You name it. Whilst we had...
