Is Strava still completely useless for doing off road routes? As for how I've been doing it. Acetate on my screen (with a grid) then using GPSies at the appropriate zoom level. Old skool tech! lol I don't actually know of any mapping sites (aside from the Strava addon mentioned above) that will sho...

Just get a mtb, this gravel lark for me is roadies to posh for mtbs hitting the dirt but not calling themselves mtbers :lol: I personally ride both road and off road and at first thought what a great concept but have since thought I'll stick to my mtb and I'll the road bike with the rubber it was bo...

How was the Sandstone Way ? on my list of to do's when I pull my finger out I might do more of a write-up, but to summarise (and this is from someone who loves Northumberland, and is a sucker for a bit of punishment on the bike): Don't bother. Definitely not in winter, but bits wouldn't be much fun...

A mate of mine hovers around 18-19st and rides a Trek Stache gets around fine on that tbh, and a great bikepacking bike too

Thought about it lots but have not actually done my Big Bro yet but thinking of not bothering as I want it to bare the scares of adventure when I finally get out there fully loaded that is

Is it just me, but after seeing Mad Max as a kid I had a feeling the world was one day going to end just like this. I've been preppin my whole life but don't see an Audi estate being any compromise to The Road Warriors V8 Interceptor with blower hanging out the bonnet, come to think of it I don't th...

I find Strava's route builder to be by far the best way of plotting routes Ian. The amount of data they have means their heatmap is miles better than anyone else's and that will ultimately give you the best indication of what the most rideable trails are. When's Ruth's event? I'll second Strava for...

Don’t know if anyone would be interested in this little compact stove, I actually use one myself and after I purchased mine the price went up to £15 for a while but just spotted it back down to £7-8, it works really well tbh compact lightweight 👍🏼 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%...

There’s a link for a the tent itself, this one is in the grey which isn’t to bad to be honest, packs down super small and weights very little

75 posted out first class Monday morning, I’ve been using a set of BB carbon tarp poles so you’ll need a similar set or a walking pole

Just wondered if anyone would interested before I chuck it on eBay, decent little lightweight (750g)tent to be fair, I’ve used it for 1 night up on the horseshoe pass in heavy rain and 3 nights doing the Capital Trail in heavy rain and high wind. Only moving on as I’m hoping to get something else sh...

Just out of interest has this route been placed on the ITT list ? Surely this would be a worthy contender looking over the route itself
