I can't promise snow but I can promise lots of cake and tea ... which is nearly as good.

if someone was to enter this as a taster event, and wanted to get minimal checkpoints, what kind of distance are we talking?

and would there be some watering holes along the way? :)

I'd estimate sub 30 miles in total.

Plan your route well and you'll not be short of options

Bigger course next year then - Elan Valley is a lot further away from Llanbrynmair that Mach is?
Got to be more than 30 miles from Llanbrynmair to Elan Valley if you went direct?
Looks good though - might give it a go this time.

[sillybigfella]

I'm in. :D

[ton]

i am very very tempted to dip my big toe in the bikepacking pond :)

[Chew]

Tony, probabaly end up entering as well so if you want someone to hook up with let me know.

[barney]

need to test out the new mat i've bought off stu so it would be rude not to !

[Dan_K]

Anyone travelling up from London for this? Really want to enter but it's a load in fuel terms for one night.

[Dusza]

Can't say I'm not tempted, anyone else from South Wales coming?

[slowupslowdown-under]

count me in!

[pedalhead]

Pretty sure I can get the weekend off for this. Glad I bought those Glacier Gloves...!

Good, we need more entries ... otherwise it may not happen.

[pedalhead]

Well I've paid up now. I'll see if I can rope in any of my local chums. What's not to like about riding & sleeping rough in Wales in January?

[pedalhead]

How many more do you need Stuart? I think I've recruited another two poor lost souls. They've done the WRT twice, you'd think they'd know better.

[Ian]

Go on then, I'll come too. Will sort out entry later...

[pedalhead]

yay :D

[Ian]

Hmmm, PayPal payment linky no worky? :?

[Bearbonesnorm]

How many more do you need Stuart?

There's no minimum required but without a certain number, things like hiring the hall, buying cakes and putting together a 'goodie bag' become difficult.

[pedalhead]

ok well let us know if/when you think it's a runner as we're quite liking the idea of a b&b on the Friday night, along with a full Welsh brekkie

[faddyvictor]

Stu i should be able to confirm 3 more entries next week,just got to double check that we are not still working on the post christmas clear up

[Bearbonesnorm]

Hmmm, PayPal payment linky no worky?

Seems to be working here.

Links working fine for me Ian, must be something your end?
