I'll probably be in the Wynnstay for a pint on the Friday Zane if you fancy a pre event chat.

Re: OMN (Yet Another Post-Viewranger Navigation app thread)
Does the OS app not do all that you've mentioned? I plan longer rides in bikehike, as it 'snaps' to roads for long sections, and BWs in Nat Parks.

Re: Yorkshire Dales Bikepacking
Nah, it just recharges your 'pencil'.........I used it on last years YD300 and I'm absolutely fine a year later (I think). I reckoned all the lead ore would have been long since taken out so it would be fine.... Cue onset of alzymers...

Yorkshire Dales 300, 2022
I've never written up a trip, but the YD300 route is great, and deserves more riders next year. If you're put off by the distance and worried you'll not make it in time, take a look at the shortcut that's possible on the first afternoon/evening near Bainbridge - it saves 70Km (from memory), missing ...

Re: YD200/300 2022
Officially 32:39 I think, but I arrived late so went for the briefing at 8am then went back to the van to change and pack/faff. Left Skipton at 8.40 . 4 hour kip stop. Strava has just under 24 hrs moving. 2 pubs and Austwick cafe account for some of the rest…….What was your time Andy

Re: Wildlife
The West Cumbria Rivers Trust has been doing lots of restoration work local to us and this week, I’ve seen kingfishers twice along one beck. First time in the 17 or so years we’ve lived here.
