A new section.
Off-road GPX library for UK and Ireland
- Thread starter Wapping
- Start date
TBH for £12 a year its hard to think of anywhere that you'd get the value for money that you get on this site + the people as well 
Careful, or the owner might put up the prices….
When bods post their files, it would be helpful if:
A. They could use a separate post for each file, just like in the main Travel section.
B. They include reasonable note as to where the trail starts and ends.
C. They give an estimate as to distance and time taken to ride.
D. Anything else of interest / relevance.
Thank you.

Type of bikes the trail is suitable for? all/trail&enduro/small Adv bikes/big Adv bikes ?
Is it legal ?
Any hazards?
Ground conditions ? ….stony/muddy/grass/boggy/tree roots/streams & fords & river crossings/gates
Anything I post will be 100% legal.
Type of bike suitable will be noted.
Just stating the correct parameters that GPX files should be loaded for off-road
However the caveat being - they may legal today
Tomorrow they may not well be
Unless there’s a massive and sudden TRO influx - they will be legal.
Let’s not make it too complicated.
Might I suggest that someone, well versed in off-road riding, posts up a sample route or two, adding to it the information they think will benefit others the most. And please, let’s have none of the “I know a great trail, but I don’t want to tell anyone ‘cos then they’ll know it too” nonsense. You don’t own the land. The TET would never have been created, if everyone had this attitude.

There is no reason why the GPX files need to be limited to the UK and Ireland. If we can get the same thing going in other countries, great. But let’s start here, get a feeling for what people want to share and then build from there.
Anyone got any routes?
I’ll load some today
So…..
Strata. Done on large adventure and enduro bikes. Entirely possible on a GS with suitable tyres AND a good level of competence.
Midsummer Adventure. Nice and doable on a GS with the right tyres.
Both Ladies rides are north wales leaving from Dollgellau and easy.
Big Bike is exactly what it says. Right tyres are needed.
Xmas 24 Chris is enduro bike with a good skill level. There are lots of tricky parts, river beds and crossings. Abergavenny area.
WM 24 Sweaty is enduro bike. Reverse it for a completely different ride! Goood level of competence needed. Leaves from the Aberbeeg area.
Ponthir-Coleford is absolutely enduro bike only!
You WILL need a good skill level for this. Takes in the Wye Valley area. So Whitebrook, Devils Staircase, etc. This one bites. Rode it yesterday and there’s some stinkers in there to keep you awake.
Claerwen is a nice run. Again, right tyres and GS capable.

And we’re away!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Stacks more yet but many cover the same area.
Have a good Hampshire one I’ll load
Here
Load away, please.
Thank you.
All I can see are blue outlines of a page. I cannot see any routes.
You need to open in Basecamp or some other GPX converter, all work fine for me and show as routes on a Map in Basecamp for me
