Cycling UK Forum

I'm largely on Mick F's side on this one. Regardless of whether it's a civil offence, criminal offence or no 'offence' at all, we cyclists have plenty of other places to cycle. Please let walkers have somewhere to wander where they won't come across cyclists, be they benign and careful or tearwaway ...

For the historic OS six-inch maps, they're freely available online through the National Library of Scotland, for the whole of GB, at https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=5&lat=56.00000&lon=-4.00000&layers=6&b=1 Cheers, Keith Thanks Keith. Off-topic I know, but this is an amazing re...

A few years ago (before smartphones and Garmins) a group of friends and I cycled Roscoff-Santander. Since I had planned the route (it wasn't the straightforward one down the coast) I was also deemed chief navigator. When in a French town it was often difficult to decide which was the correct road ou...

Thank you but it's so near and yet so far! 1. The Reclassified Routes doesn't seem to have any indication why sections were reclassified and that's what we really need. 2. We also need a Deleted Routes file similar. 3. The NCN map there disagrees with https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ncn in that...

Ah, I should have known there were some locals on here

O.K. Last one from me. Also on an NCN route.
Maybe a bit harder than my last photo? Although the travel experience of some of the contributors on here astounds me.

Actually, there's still the question I asked a couple of weeks ago to answer: Screenshot 2020-07-11 at 13.19.07.png Where was this water powered bike I cycled past before cycling up a hill and past some fields? If you don't like the question, please feel free to post a better one! It's at Colmars-V...

Sustrans has sent me this link https://data-sustrans-uk.opendata.arcgis.com/ which allows you to zoom in and see the status of each individual section of the NCN (e.g. if it's off-road, if it's 'MTB-only'). It also shows the gaps which have appeared in what was beginning to be a 'national' network; ...

Correct! No clue needed then
But it was going to be that a National Cycle Route passes direcly underneath it.

?? Possibly. But a google of his name with this town doesn't have any hits.
Clue later today if needed.

No new questions today so here's one - maybe to finish my thread with, since we are not locked-down any longer? At least, I'm not; this photo was taken on a tour a couple of weeks ago:

Backlog hits 400'000 says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53494998 I saw this coming and applied for mine early in lockdown, although it didn't expire until mid-January. It took only 10 days and most of that time was because I had to re-send my photo several times (tip: if you wear glasses, take them...

In the last 2 weeks I have stayed in 5 different 'Camping & Caravan Club' sites (exclusive to members) in my campervan. I have my own toilet and shower so don't need to use these shared facilities. I chose areas away from the most popular tourist areas, but where there was some interesting cycli...

Latest update fro Brittany Ferries: Boarding and disembarkation for foot passengers and for cyclists presents particular issues at this difficult time so we have therefore taken the decision that for this summer we cannot accept them. We are very sorry for those who wish to travel by these means. We...

I knew it was Brittany before I saw the cider. Somewhere near Roscoff, and I'm sure I've been there, but can't place it.
