I personally wouldn't bother with Tracks4Africa unless you're heading to Southern Africa. There is more out there for free (or a voluntary donation) than paid for on T4A. Garmin Basecamp compatible maps from garmin.openstreetmap.nl (doesn't seem to be working at the moment, hopefully only...

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab4 and I'm struggling to get my preferred maps on there in an app that I can also load my routes and tracks to. Ideally I would like to couple it to my Garmin Montana as an extension of the screen but haven't worked out how to do that yet either. I have just...

OOPS! Sorry Will, now added.

OK Saturday the 14th, Meet on the car park in the center of Hartington (near the Old Cheese Shop) for a 10am start. Get there earlier if you want a brew/breakfast first and bring a packed lunch because if we are going to get the whole route in there won't be much time for stopping! The route is...

If everybody who wanted to come turns up on Saturday then we are going to have to run two groups anyway, so It's fine with me. Just working on the route now and you're likely to get a PM shortly to double check the status of one of the lanes.

Saturday 14th. Think we're going to have to have a slight change of plan. The lanes around Ashbourne are already sodden and with another week of rain forecast I think we ought to leave them be and sort a route in the rockier areas of the Peak. We can do the Ashbourne run once the lanes have...

Don't forget Georgias' Southern neighbour Armenia. Absolutely stunning scenery and loads of high altitude, unsurfaced routes and even cheaper prices. Excellent food and drink too with very hospitable people.

If in doubt, or trouble, bodge it with Duct tape and/or cable ties and fix it properly when you return. This is a serious reply not a **** take. My disco 300tdi headlamp was held in place with Duct Tape for several months before I got round to fixing it properly! EDIT Oops, just looked at the...

Hi James, one lane (Trailwise UID SK1949-01) was blocked by the farmers Land Rover but that was to stop people heading up the lane to where a different farmer has apparantly abandoned an old combine harvester accross the track completely blocking it! The second lane (Trailwise UID SK1254-02 &...

With the two blocked lanes and the third with no legal exit anymore I may have to have a bit of a rethink for the route on the 14th. I'll report the two blocked lanes tomorrow so they may be cleared before then hopefully. A bit of a baptism of fire for the TD5, definitely a different driving...

Planning on a 10:30 get away so if you want a breakfast or a brew get there a bit earlier. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it much before 10:30 but will be ready to go as soon as we've all met. See you in the morning.

Forecast is cloudy but hopefully no rain, fingers crossed.

Excelent, look forward to seeing you then. If the Met Office have it right we may even have a coating of snow! It would be the first time in ages they have got a medium range forecast right though!!!

I'm sure you do.........:eek:

Sorry David, are you up for the run on the 31st or the 14th? You are more than welcome on either, especialy as you were one of the first to reply! If needs be we'll run two groups on the same route with a bit of a gap between. We can still meet up at set points along the way.

I make a living by taking people out of their comfort zone, all that means is I'm better at blagging it than they are........:D

More than welcome, if Viamphie and 88 are up for it then you make the 6. See you all on Saturday

Looks like you're on the list for both :D If you want to come along this Saturday, the 31st, you and the 88 are more than welcome. We'll be meeting in Tissington at, or outside, Herberts' fine english tea rooms (formerly The Old Coach House) DE6 1RA. Tissington is just off the A515 North of...

Ade I'll just hit the 515 at Newhaven and head straight down that way. I can't guarantee timings at the mo because Kim's horse is badly and I can't get away till she's done at the stables, hence the 10:30 start.

No probs mate, so far that's Me Will Ade Viamphe "crapped out 88"! So room for 1 more, or 2 if the 88 isn't playing?
