Really useful, thanks. I didn't know about the definitive county maps.
Thank you for your knowledge. Think if I do my trip going to head as the crow fly's. 😀
Love this, thank you!! Having been directed down all sorts of alleged "Single track" with Komoot, I now plot A – B on Komoot, then double check on OS Maps, correcting for footpaths etc. Although a ball ache it means no diverting, then I follow the route on either Strava or Komoot. Max route plotted so far is only 90 miles and it works.
Thanks for this josh an absolute mine of information, realy useful for all of us.
Josh, hi. Apologies, this is off topic. Can I asked what you were using for the light / Garmin mount on your trip bars in this video? Thank you, Stevie 🏴
Tip for Komoot world maps: sign up for the free service but don't buy the world map right away. After about 2 weeks, they send you an email containing a discount for the world maps. You save about 30%. I paid 19 euro one-off, and it was well worth it.
Good info here, i used to plot routes on google maps and drop the link into 'maps to gpx' then put the gpx on my phone using a free gpx reader app. Get a proper gps device i kept telling myself..never did, getting off route was often more fun, and often not. Happy trails!
Great tip to use Enduro Mountainbike on Komoot! I will try that out. The regular mountainbike category has sent me uphill on some tough singletrack.
Brilliant video. Thank you for making your routes available.
Cheers 🌞🚴♀️🖖
Brilliant.
Feels like it cut off abruptly at the end. Is there a deleted scene special feature coming soon?
I would warn against using OSMaps for cycle routes – I'm having this exact discussion with them right now. If you choose to create an off-road cycle route – this can and often does include public footpaths, that you're therefore not allowed to cycle on. I'm in contact with their support team at the moment but their answer so far is "don't blindly follow sat nav, check the route provided". I find this a terrible response, OS have the data as to which type of paths you're allowed to cycle on, but it's not being applied when you pick an off-road cycle route. If you choose an on-road route, footpaths are avoided, but so are National Cycle network routes! Many thanks for the video.
