Hi do we have a date set ? my original plan was to start in the north heading south but it seems you guys want to head north . dont know if the is a difference or if the trails are better this way. If we start in the south do you know of a good tyre shop so I can ride down on trashed tyres and fit some nice rubber for the trails ahead ?
thanks kito

Touratech hq is near where I started from, would seem a good a place as any to fit tyres.

No real difference. I prefer south to north as the trails are better down south. The ones from the north ales coast are a bit crAp until you reach Llangollen or betwy s coed depending on the route you take.

south to north better for me and i think we will ease into it , certainly the sarn helen is easier south to north thinking of the river crossing and those lovely rock steps

it certainly could be - all it needs is someone to organise it each year....

mods could you combine the two threads on this topic please?

cheers
