Hoping to get a 3 -5 day mountain bike ride arranged for August, but don't seem to be able to find many resources. I have seen the booklets like the Wessex Way one, but they don't get great reviews and ideally would like to just get a gps file.

Plan is to camp along the way.

Thanks

Have you looked at routes on [url= http://www.bikeandbivi.co.uk/php/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=40fb6cb30498469b16b9e9a842e82620 ]Bike and Bivi[/url]? [url= http://http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=f2a21bd9324f8f2d21cf70590b48d8ed ]Bear Bones Bikepacking[/url] too.
If you need the GPS file for any of the routes, just ask on there and someone will sort you out.

Can't you just buy/download a previous route, or follow someone on Endomondo? Good luck.

Without trying to be smart/funny, have you considered just getting out the OS maps and making up your own route? Planning routes is half the fun 🙂

That is what I normally do, but have been caught out so many times where the bridleway has not been maintained and is not passable.

At least with a route that has been done before you should hopefully be aware of any of those problems before you set off.
