Those are great thanks guys.

If you've got an Android phone then the App " Explorer helper for VeloViewer " does exactly what you're looking for Steve. It's essential for making sure you're not missing tiles imo.. Andy's right this is brilliant. Takes a minute to figure out loading the veloviewer file to update the app but onc...

TNF Nuptse in full effect

No doubt rocking some Clarks wallabies too.

The return of TNF Nuptse. We had that over here about 18 years ago and now again. Fashion recycles itself and has never wanted to be practical... Loads of teenagers are wearing Patagonia and TNF like Jamesh says but down "puffer" jackets were fashionable when I was at school in the 90s. The endless...

I predict that this winter we will get a range of precipitation, wind speeds, wind directions and temperatures.

That's the most accurate forecast we'll see for a while

There was a mythical story of the Barnsley legend Wayne Randall riding head down straight into the back window of a caravan that had slowed due to a queue, he picked himself up inside the van, walked out of the door, got back on his bike and finished the race. There's also the true story of the guy...

Shafiq- yes I've tried it on the sandy rocky stuff around here and it works fine, note the scratches on the photos. Techno- ever tried finding a stick in the bare moonscape scrubland at 1,500-2,000 m up a Spanish mountain? Not many trees to squat behind just rocky outcrops. No i haven't bud. Thankf...

A rough c*nt says...

there's no need for that sort of language

How did you get on Andy? I loved it! Route was great apart from two busy road sections that were made worse by the bank holiday weekend and great weather. Nice group of people including Chew. Pubs were good! Route is definitely recommended and the group ride too. Day 1: https://strava.app.link/Kjyf...

Local shop in Hadfield too: https://i0.wp.com/metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/league-of-gentlemen-1.jpg Is that for real? :grin: Haha, no shaf. The TV series league of gentlemen was filmed there. It's a sort of sitcom about a town of inbred weirdos (think goole). A Dark but very funny program.

Sett Valley Cafe at Birch Dale Shop and several food options in Hayfield, about 1km (flat) off-route They sell snacks and drinks at the little activity centre/bike hire place on the Monsal Trail just where you turn off (Blackwell Mill) Shop in Youlgreave couple of km off-route. Shop/bakery in Castl...

Whats air bnb?? Is that another name for bivyin??

That'd be fresh air BnB!
It's a site with rooms to rent: https://www.airbnb.co.uk

Shaf - one option I've used prior to the BB200 and also the Winter Event is the Travelodge at Oswestry. It's just over an hour from Llanbrynmair. If the weather's poo then you aren't spending a night out prior to the event itself. Obviously not as cheap as camping :grin: Good call... thanks Bob... ...
