I was thinking there will be a tap at cwmystwyth campsite as well.

Trying to remember if there was anything at nant Rhys.

That's my plan. Unless it's pissing down all day then I'll be straight in a bothy.

Trying to decide whether to take 2 season bag and down jacket or 4 season and thermals.

What are your plans for water on the route?

I know of a few places where I could fill up but there's a few big gaps to cover. I'll happily fill up from streams higher up but not lower and don't want to carry a filter.

Will they be able to tell me how to "get ripped abs in just 30 mins!" or something. ;-)

Stuart - are you going to publish an entry list? or should we just raise our hands on this thread and say I?

Hello

Looking for some L-Bend bar ends to turn my mary's into loop bars. Must be L-bends.

cheers.

Was thinking about my kit for the BB200, and to save weight and bulk considering not taking my alpkit wee airic and going completely without. Or maybe taking some bubblewrap.

what do people think?

I want to get a long sleeve merino riding top for autumn (think it would be good for bb200). Would like something a little heavier weight than the base layers mostly available in merino. Looking at on-one they seem seem good tops for the money - anyone got one? Also any other bargains out there to i...

Hmm. I bought a Robin Mather custom 853 mtb frame in 2004. it's still my top mountain bike. things have changed a bit since i got it. Fitted longer adjustable travel (designed around 100mm) forks and wider bars. it's still a bloody brilliant ride and very comfortable. in the bottom right from wrt in...

not training, but have got some good riding sorted. Did a 220k road ride through the night in July. Planning to do an 80 mile pennine bridleway/sustrans route in sep with kit to test everythings working ok. plus if stuff works out a road 100 miler. otherwise the usual ride to work and occasional eve...

so on saturday night I did the dunwich dynamo (well a variation which kep me out of the smoke) I used my etrex with the track loaded, great but i noticed something which was a bit dumb. i had eta at destination as one of the data fields on my display. except it seemed to base the time on current spe...

cheers.

On bikehike when you create the route do you need to set it to follow roads on openstreetmap in the options box to make it give nav cues?

So I've got my etrex 20, downloaded some tidy looking opensource mapping from talkytoaster. Now do I download my planned routes to follow as a route or a track? routes appear to have loads of waypoints on them which are a bit distracting and random on the screen. Tracks don't have this but I've read...

Sausage and apple pies. made small for easy packing and snacking. fry onions, add meat from sausages. add chopped, skinned apple. cook through. add creme fraiche and wholegrain mustard and leave to cool. make (or buy if you are lazy) pastry - use shortcrust - and line small alumnium pie tins/cake ti...

Fantastic ride James and cracking photos. Properly inspirational.

were doing a lot of blue dot following and on that last day minute by minute updates of that battle for 3rd.

Amazon have the etrex 20 for 120 notes. Seems like a very good price, I have some amazon vouchers so my just get one.

Hello, do you have a link to that 150 quid Dakota on amazon? I searched but only found something that called it a portatile? That was 170.

My first bb200. Was planning to go last year but my daughter was born the weekend before. I'm very excited and a bit nervous. Although I have done a few rides in this part of wales. Mostly in horrendous weather. Really hoping for good weather for bb200, if it is good i am hoping to break 24 hours. I...

I'm also on the lookout for a lightweight budget sleeping bag. Found Vango Ultralight 350, weighs 750 grams, packs to 18 x 16 cm. it's 48 quid at go outdoors. it's going to be a summer bag only but with clothes and a liner I suppose it could be boosted. Years ago I had an ultralight 1100 and it was ...

Fantastic - congratulations on a great ride. I also wondered if the double would go soon.

Good read on your blog, the place names brought back a lot of memories.

:)

I've written a more detailed account with the few pics we took here: https://sites.google.com/site/bigdayrideforhenry/blog-updates/postscript Stu - I knew that we couldn't add the time, it was nice having a support crew on a day like that for moral support and hot soup. :) Blackhound - there was nev...

Hello Just a word to let you know how we did. As the WRTers will attest, the weather yesterday was filthy. We did ok from our 6am start, apart from a minor nav error and my front brake pads falling out we made Rhayader in 4 1/2 hours. By that point we were soaked to the skin and freezing. James wasn...

Was thinking if we would be meeting any of you WRT'ers when we do our our TCW attempt on the sunday.

Roughly which direction from HQ are the checkpoints?

If our paths do cross, say hi and give us some encouragement?

(Does a flapjack exchange count as external support?)

Thank you so much for your donations and kind words. We have tried to do something each year in Henry's memory to help 2 charities who helped us. Sadly the numbers of still birth or neo-natal deaths are not reducing, and it's not well known how common it is. In previous years we did the welsh 3000s ...

Pedalhead - that's an vaguely exciting ride. Going to be doing the TCW-ITT as a group of 3 sunday June 3rd. As a charity fundraiser. Details here: https://sites.google.com/site/bigdayrideforhenry/home . Any suggestions or recommendations? Where's best place to leave a car in Knighton? and is there a...
