Imba broken?

Hi chaps, first post here.

I've been trying to get details of the Transcambrian Way from the IMBA website but all I get is an error message. There used to be links to maps and such but no more. (Well not for me, anyway). I can find the pdf guide, but no maps. So, if not IMBA, where can I get maps and/or gpx files for this route.

Thanks

Welcome aboard :-bd

Might be worth emailing them to let them know there is a problem with their website. Looks like a wordpress plugin is playing up.

In the meantime, I have a copy of it here as a single file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mea7bpo6j3zcc ... e.gpx?dl=0

It is the track only though - the IMBA files had useful references to water stops and such like.

how 'winter proof' is it? doable in the winter months? not looking to set records but fancy a crack at it in a day at some point...

I'd love to have a collective route share on here.

The thing is, he knew every bloody corner on a roughly 300 km long trip through Wales. Without checking his GPS...

As most of us discovered last weekend, everything is "do-able" :grin:

For training for Roveniemi, I was going to have a go at Dyfi Junction to Knighton on the fat bike.
