I have long wanted to ride this route linking Exmoor and Dartmoor, either Northwards or Southwards (or both), and will be visiting Bantham in Devon from the 20th. So if anyone is up for doing this and wants some company I would be delighted. email tom@artacademy.org.uk

I am going for 'sensible fabrics as listed above for the outer and the insulation of ours but I was wondering about this 'faux silk stuff for the inner? It says it is light weight, it doesn't have to be uber light, but it has to be roughly practical. It will need a seam because this is for a double ...

hello, I have seen an american blog post for a myog quilt and the ingredient list is as follows: For insulation - 5oz Climashield Apex For the quilt outer - Momentum 90-MR ('mini-ripstop') For the inner liner - Momentum 90-T ('taffeta') For edging - 1" grosgrain where in the uk can i buy these ...

it is amazingly designed, and, as i said, brilliant. no real complaints of the route, i was joking and riffing on your handle 'sweary dave'. I really do appreciate you making this available and would do it again

OK, I did this. Finally getting my head round the tech (route was too much to load and I had to use an app to simplify the amount of data) and going for it as far as Carlisle at which point I went Berwick on Tweed via Alston and Melrose. I couldn' find cheap places to stay in the places where each d...

thanks so much, we haven't had much luck getting it onto a garmin edge 500 though, could you advise please?

I need a series of gpx files of the route please, i can't manually transfer the points from the viewranger to the garmin connect, and nothing else i try is working, please

yes, thanks, but which map view do you think is best? (see dropdown menu in image)

weirdly neither, this:

but given the first one seems like a bit of a bargain I could come down on price

looking into this more today, prompted by the tantalising if ultimately not especially helpful 25% off offer on the YHA website. On the viewranger website where the stages of Dave's route link to can someone recommned which option of the dropdown free maps is most useful, i was going to print off th...

i have exactly this for sale; i'd like 35 posted, details are on that auction website (not sure if i can link here or if it is frowned on) mine is the one with the scratch and the wood floor in the background

I think I might give this a go, although the really big difference, the highlands and islands bit I will have to leave because I promised a friend I'd visit her in the Borders. So was thinking turning sharp right around Carlisle.

Thanks Dave!

hi, and thanks! I basically want to follow a gps and not fiddle around going through big towns and getting lost, see some lovely countryside and cover many miles. I am pretty hardy and an experienced rider/tourer; however, I am also an idiot (and have very low patience levels when it comes to techno...

Apart from the man himself? I can't find much info on the route as a trip (I have got the route ) I am looking for an easy to navigate but hard/long tour for August.

It rides great and is versatile and cheap. This one comes with a decent XT bottom bracket that should have life left and a headset th...

Just about to pull the trigger on a few bits and wondered if anyone could spare one of these, within whatever rules the forum/alpkit specify.

Very much obliged,
Tom

I am planning to drive to Spain leaving either the 26th or extremely early on the 27th returning Friday the 6th. It's not confirmed yet. I will have a seat in the car and loads of luggage/bike space. I am going near Malaga, I can drop you off anywhere on route really. Will probably stopover in San S...

Hello, yes, I would be up for this. I live in Camberwell. I have some holiday at the beginning of Aug and also was going to do a long weekend on the Lon Las Cymru over the w/e of the 21st this month, perhaps you want to join me for that?

... in case anyone is passing through and wants somewhere basic but nice to lay their head, or heads, for a night or two (I have a room with two singles on offer) It comes with a garage space for bikes and am happy to cook for you one evening, can pick you up in the car if need be (within reason) an...

Hello, when were you thinking of doing this, I also have just been in touch with Ian about this and he also kindly said he'd be intouch with some details. I was planning 1st week/days of August.
