Tour Divide 2022 - who is going / considering going?

After my Wanted post in the classified section relating to the Adventure Cycle Association maps it appears a few of us on here are planning on taking part in the 2022 Tour Divide.

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

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.

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.
