WRT
I know this will probbaly result in a torrent of screams, but has anyone ever crossed with a bike the Dovey at the rail bridge at Dovey Junction? There may or may-not be a walkway along it.

Re: WRT
Not me guv.
Recommendation? "possibly inadvisable" .
Overly-familiar as we are in This Place with the laws of trespass, we no doubt remember that unfortunately trespass on railway infrastructure is automatically criminal rather than civil, so it's a much less fun game than the civil variety. Still, your friend might enjoy the type of foodstuffs and hospitality provided at Her Majesty's pleasure so that would be an upside .
Packraft?
One admires the advance planning for the WRT 4 months away though .

Re: WRT
It's a shame there isn't a nice little ferry service from Ynyslas to Aberdyfi similar to the one across the Mawddach at Abermaw/Barmouth .
Pickers and Reg gave the Mawddach ferryman a little challenge a few years ago....

Re: WRT
It's thought that the Roman's had a bridge across but there's some conjecture as to exactly where it was sited.
May the bridges you burn light your way

£3.90 for an anytime single if the timings suit your friend.

Re: WRT
Just dawned on me - are we not a bit early for a WRT thread. Even I don't know where we're going yet.

Re: WRT
Yes that was my first thought above. You'll have to stick a GR on Dovey Junction station now.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 5:15 pm Just dawned on me - are we not a bit early for a WRT thread. Even I don't know where we're going yet.

Re: WRT
Good point there Bear. Very sensible. Even cheaper if you alight(*) at Penhelyg - only £3.30 single. There used to be a station at Gogarth just over the bridge which would have been handy.Bearlegged wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 5:10 pm £3.90 for an anytime single if the timings suit your friend.
Poor Chris, wishes he'd never mentioned it now .
(*) this excellent but little-used word should be aired at every opportunity, in the context of debouching from a vehicle. Said vehicle does not necessarily have to be on fire.

Not WRT then, the 8/9 Jan thing whatever that’s called……..Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 5:15 pm Just dawned on me - are we not a bit early for a WRT thread. Even I don't know where we're going yet.
You can tell I’m planning, when I don’t even remember the name!!
Re: WRT
Your friend might like to know that it’s a £2000 fine as a minimum, that’s even on preserved/heritage railways, covered by the same law.
It might not show bikepacking in a good light… maybe get him to dress as a fisherman or member of the local hunt?
Anyway, it might be close to the usual pack raft grid ref?
Happy new year and looking forward to May.
Cheers
