YD300 is up first, details here http://riderscyclecentre.com/yorkshiredales300/
Last year I rang Stuart about the route to find out which OS maps I'd need and he pointed me towards the provisional (and as it turned out, final) route on gpsites. It'd be Worth giving him a bell

Re: Tarp recommendations
I’m not against the alpkit one, in fact I like to bright colours rather than everything being dull green. I was just wondering what alternatives there are before I end up looking like an alpkit model This guy does custom jobbies, and has a ultralight one on sale at the min: https://www.etsy.com/uk/...

If I mount it on h accessory bar I find it drops down at the nose so you can't see it over rough ground Not an alternative mount but a handy way of getting the unit off th...

Re: Moors One Hundred
a blatant rip-off of the YD200 Seems a little harsh. It's the YD300 this year, and the two distances in the same time will appeal to very different riders.
