Re: Trans Cambrian Way

Have you considered doing it backwards? Dyfi junction is a total anti-climax, there's nowt there. Knighton has shops and feels more like a destination. Also, W to E will likely put the wind at your back and remove the draggy grassy climbs out of Knighton. Seconded. I really recommend last train to ...

Re: Route help - South Wales

Stu, it had crossed my mind but I'm on a fairly tight schedule so not sure I can get up there really, it's quite far from England with a Bridge. I have been very much enjoying riding in mid-Wales recently though and am riding Ian Barrington's 2 ton of gravel in a few weeks with Karl. Should be fun!...

Sorry to hijack but Dave, what mapping do I need for the TNR? Talky...

Re: Oregon 300 'mares

Is there a way to view the gamin maps on my phone by copying the gampsupp.img file on there and using an app? I'd rather not have to buy maps again from somewhere else! You can't.
