Curiously dash4it.co.uk always have a 40% discount on maps just before the WRT so keep an eye out for that.
Thats only £2,536.08 that's including current
30% discount of £1086.89( RRP £3,622.97).
I'dhold out for further 10% a whopping £362.30. :grin:
I hope you think you know, what I might of exactly meant.

Not the whole country ya loon! :grin: . Even Stu's GR 'issues' are unlikely to result in one at Cape Wrath :smile: .

Do I need to get some maps or not thanks again
By all means buy maps because maps are great - each contains a thousand adventures. However, don't feel that you need to if riding with the LHC as a route will be taken care of by John and his elves :wink:

since I am not familiar with the terrain and resupply points, I may be interested in the LHC route. But I'm of some bike-packing/ (read pushing) experience. I don't want to deprive another bikepacking virgin the chance to pop their cherry on the WRT. :wink:
(thinks aloud) Are white socks mandatory? :grin:

Have a word with John Dan, I don't know how he is for numbers. Also, an executive decision to make a number of routes available (once GR are released) for a small charitable contribution was made.

If you can dream it you can make it :-bd
It's not about the destination it's all about the journey :ugeek:

Including cat herders so far we have
9 boys and 3 girls in the LHC group.

I'm sure we had around 20 or so 3 or 4 years ago at the bivi's, so these are more spaces for LHC'ers are welcome
