Oo a positive, thanks Stu!

Great thread btw

....people want everything given to them on a plate these days. They want their routes given to them as a download onto a gadget.... I often get asked for the GPX for a particular route I've ridden. Some peeps are either incapable or too lazy to study a map/the web for ideas on where to ride. Im pr...

TBH I'm signed up for the event next week and despite having the GR's I don't feel part of the vibe as like I said above, I don't know how to use a Garmin. Yes I've plotted on a map but when everyone else is using devices my thinking is that I'll look too old skool getting a map out. So instead of f...

BB events with no GPS?

I know this is a tad different but how many of you when driving rely on a GPS/phobe to get to your destination? Remember the days when the passenger would have an atlas on their lap, and the arguments that would follow!

I can read a map fine but tbh I ain't got a clue how to use a GPS!
I've got a Garmin e-trex 30 which is sitting idle at home :(

Bugger and there was me interested in riding in Morrocco!

Drink less & ride more!
I can only hope....

As the title suggests I'm assuming a route taking in some burial chambers.....

For me, its been today after finding out a local lad who drank in my local took his own life last night. Something to do with not seeing his kid. Just a waste. So sad knowing his kid will end up being affected for his entire life.

As they say, 'its good to talk'

For me I'm still in two minds as to whether to continue with BAM.
And I've got a pass to use so would love to give Morocco a go, or maybe a return to Iceland.
I'm still planning...

With all this talk of Iceland I just had to bump my old post up here: http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10601&p=128209&hilit=iceland#p128209 And this one which I don't think I posted here: https://fat-bike.com/2017/08/fat-bike-iceland/ I'm keen to return now....

Yep a good film that.
As most know I went last year with JC, what an absolute amazing rugged country, I'd defo go back for more...

O and Grwych castle at Abergele has 24 hour security there just in case anyone has marked it as a bivvy spot

Watched it last night thanks to the heads up by John Climber. Even though its my 'back garden' i learnt some new things. I've biked at Cwmorthin quite a bit and what they showed on the show of the ruins at the surface is nothing compared to what's further up the hillside. Bloody shame that big house...

Cheers

That was great. Its also makes it look appealing!
*salutes*

There's a bit of snow and ice up there after today's weather. 'The lake with the sword in it' is Llyn Padarn which is the one at Llanberis, There's plenty of spots to wild camp on the mountain and the boardwalk on the west side of the cafe is a good spot for a bivvy but it'll be baltic atm. Last Sat...

Here's my video from last weekend's bivvy a month trip near Snowdon.
