Re: Warm gloves
Showers pass crosspoint are working well for me so far on Dartmoor. Only issue I had was when I wore them on a warmer day, got sweaty and then cooled down.

Re: Which weather service?
All of them. If they all agree then go with that. If they don’t, pick the one you like the look of.

Re: 10 riders who changed mountainbiking tech
given how quickly he pops up on even marginally relevant threads on STW, then yes.Do you think he sits on Google, Facebook, twitter etc searching his own name
surprised he hasn't posted here yet.

Re: A Bog Too Far - Dartmoor 200
Ah, I see it now. I’ve only ever done it from the tor royal end along the conchies road. When I first found it, I though this is vaguely exciting, until suddenly it wasn’t. Some of the openstreetmap round that area is pretty questionable. I’ve been stung before by ‘paths’ that don’t exist on the gro...

Re: A Bog Too Far - Dartmoor 200
The turn on the granite way, you have to go about 200yds past the bridge, and then double back up a track up the edge of the siding. You can cross the bridge directly if youd taken the track direct beneath sourton tors rather than dropped to the granite way. I can’t see the other bit you mean on the...

Range firing times, looks clear. Firing in merrivale on the Tuesday.
Stepping stones at dartmeet are impassable if the river is up. I know this the hard way…

Re: Not the HT550
Re the north side of Loch Etive trail - the track starts at 10316 44081 just above the shore line about 1.5k from the road end about 100m above the loch shore and goes the full length of the loch. I’d say that’s where the worst of the bog started, but it was a bit bushwhacky for a couple of km prio...

Sep 2017. It was pretty grim after that but we knew how far from the road we were so knew it was worth pushing on.

Re: Not the HT550
That track on the north side gets better. I’ve done it from the other way and the bit at the top of the loch is by far the worst.
Edit. About 3-4km from the end of the road it turns back to double track.
