Purpose of this post is to connect us Brits together and share plans/aspirarions/queries/logistics considerations.

Re: Wanted - Great Divide (Tour Divide) Maps
I think you might struggle to buy second hand as I would never let go of mine Thanks Dave. I have had a couple of people offer up some of their 'spares' or accidental orders. Kind of ideal really given some of them aren't available at present from the USA. I think I will just build up the set from ...

Re: Lomond Trossachs Loop
I have just got back from a trip in Scotland (hiking no bikes unfortunately).
Your photos around Loch Lomand have I spired me to head back with my bike sometime this year again. Looks lovely. Thanks for the write up.

Re: Catching fly campers! *update*
Good for you for saying something.
I think something we as brits do too often is to let things slide for fear of causing a fuss or a scene.
If people like you don't confront these tools then it will happen again and again.
Respect.

Re: UK terrain like the Tour Divide?
Thank you all for what has been a great read of this old thread. I am in the process of planning and preparing for my first TD attempt in 2022. 1 key influence was SwearyDave's YouTube video which absolutely inspired me. Looking forward to reading through more of these threads as my prep continues.

Selling my brand new warrenty replacement matt from Exped. They come with a 5yr warrenty and I had mine replaced via Lyon Equipment earlier in the year due to a baffle failure.
