I'm planning something similar from North London in the next couple of weeks and I've just come across this and noticed that there are a couple of closure notices in place. See link below.

Thanks for all the positives guys, it makes the many 200 mile trips to the area to recce, sort stuff out all worth it. Didn't get much time socialize, it went by in a flash. But a million thanks for turning up. On that note.... I have mixed feelings on wether to run it again. It was quite a bit of ...

Thanks everyone for the replies and comments.

As I have "more than one bike", I've ordered several of the cheap ebay ones, and will adjust as necessary and leash to the bike!

You have my utmost respect. I get bored doing a 10 mile loop three times!

Is this the type that you guys are using?

Doesn't appear to be available from Garmin in UK, it's only on the US site.

Can anyone recommend a decent, but not too expensive mount for the Dakota?

Thanks!

Exciting

Brilliant write-up. Don't apologise for it being factual, it's perfect bloke reading!

That's one on my to-do list. I always fancied W-E, but I'm not so sure now.

Great write up and pics. Well done!

I guess a lot of people have migrated to the FB group. However, good as it is, it's not a forum and doesn't feel the same!

Would definitely be interested. I miss the old site.

The Ridgeway is such an easy route to do, as it’s all signposted. I’m thinking of doing it in the next couple of weeks if you’re interested.

Have bought a Dakota 20 off ebay. I'll probably have a few stupid questions in the next week or so

Thanks guys.

That gives me plenty to get started on with some research!

I'm looking for advice on what GPS to get. I've never used one before, and just want something simple, no HRM etc. Must be easy to use! Would prefer replaceable batteries and decent size colour screen. Do they come with OS type mapping or can I download this separately? I'm not looking for the lates...

Oh dear! I'm in

Louis Garneau Biogel gets my vote. Gel pads in perfect positions, towelling to thumbs, and mesh backs. I normally swear by Gore stuff, but these are way more comfortable than my Gore gloves. Just back from an 80 mile ride on the road bike, a fair portion of which was on rough tracks (I now understan...
