Hello, Does anyone have a GPX track for the SSWC in Belgium that they could share? If the course is nice, I might go down there and ride it on my own later this month. I really wanted to go this year, but it was a mate's stag do that weekend. We went clay pigeon shooting, so I discovered a new thing...

+1 for Ride With GPS. I find it easy to use, except perhaps for the search function for finding existing routes. I like the fact you can use it with Open Street Map. It's especially handy for me because I use a Garmin GPSMaps that also has OSM loaded on it.

Cheers,
Johnny

@Cheeky Monkey,

The GP Cargo is still in stock. That's the one with the problematic D-rings.
The Anfibio Nano and Nano RTC are both out of stock for now.

Cheers,
Johnny

'Ello, I used these: https://www.bike-components.de/en/tubus/Clamp-for-Cargo-Pannier-Rack-p38568/ to build a front support for a Carradice bag, together with some bits of an old Pletscher rack I cut up. It was a bit simpler than the setup in the video. It has also been pretty solid so far. I also ad...

Hello Alec, Thanks for that. A couple of packraft sites have also advised me to go for a full size two person raft if I want to bring 2 bikes and a child. I've also looked at John Climber's pictures again, and it doesn't look ideal to have a kid in the front with the bike hanging over him. He won't ...

@Redefined Cycles - Thanks. Anfibio has a link to John Climber's article via the GP Cargo page on their site. John's photos are useful - especially seeing what it looks like when sitting in the boat with the bike on the front. Much better than all the silly 'lifestyle' shots you get on places like b...

Ok, thanks. That also rules out several of the other rafts I was looking at (Anfibio Delta or Sigma, Current-Raft Shoreline). So I think we have a winner in the GP Cargo. I kind of hoped that would be the case because it looks like a really useful design with room on the rear as well as the front. C...

Hello, Thanks a lot for the suggestions! @Cheeky Monkey - I've got a very naff inflatable boat that I could try out for towing gear in. @Shafiq - thanks for the welcome. Belgium is great for short bikepacking trips. There's a network of free bivouac sites (bivakzone.be). There's even one in the fore...

Hello, I'm new on this forum. My name is Johnny and I'm British but I live in Belgium. I've been bikepacking for a few years, mostly overnight & weekends. I try to get out at least once a month if possible. Been lurking on here for a while and have decided to join properly. I'm bikerafting curio...
