wtb make some cheap rubber loads of bargains on CRC FWIW the panaracers and raptors have been around for an age and theres probably a good reason for it.

Another prompt for the wilderness camp trip any ideas? what should it entail?

 

[The Ken]

Could we do the nevis loop as a wilderness camp? perhaps extending it if needed.

What about torridon up to loch maree or a similar section of appropriate distance.

Or travel to that pub that is only "accessible" from the sea, I think it is on either the rattagan or ardnamurchan peninsula....

Found it ....

minimum 18 miles across the munroes, britain's most remote pub, Knoydart peninsula, the more I read the blurm the more I want to go.

AFAIK its next to impossible to reach by bike, or certainly not a pleasant excursion. I posted a link to a ride report a while back. I would like to go to Knoydart though

Does look rather spendiferous indeed.
