Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
Not sure what the question is here?
Is it any 100km routes with 1400m of climbing?
If so, there must be loads of them.
I did 70km yesterday with 1000m of climbing, and it wasn't a particularly hilly route for around here.

I've got two pairs of the Trailcross XT boots, one for summer in my normal size and one for winter in half a size bigger to allow for extra socks. Works well.

Re: Liner, Quilt, or Better Bag?
I've had a Snugpak Softie 3 Merlin since the mid 90s, great bags, and I used mine a lot back then when I was doing a lot of touring. I also carried a goretex bivi bag and found that on colder nights that would significantly improve warmth as well as protecting against condensation. I've now got a SO...

Re: How much grief can I expect?
I spent a lot of time looking at different vans. Was replacing an Leyland Daf 200! Asked the mechanic (with whom I spent a lot of time, being a Leyland Daf owner!) about which ones he sees the least of, and he said go for a French one. They're cheaper than the German ones, are more reliable and rus...

Out of interest, is the 1:50k mapping OS mapping? And what is the non Garmin source?
