overnighter in the Berwyns. Not been back too long, it's taken all day to ride 70miles back home. I'm freezing!

More impressive and a lot more scary is the fact this thread is 5 years old.! I looked at this this morning and though it was 2 years tops. Getting old.

HiI'm want to start bikepacking this year and I'm looking for a bit of route advice/opinions. Are the Sustrans routes any good for someone looking to stay as off-road as possible or should I be...

Both - though in my experience Sustrans routes have a tendency to wander on and off road. Plus they tend to focus on going through habitations. My bikepacking tends to head away from these places.

You might find the 20L simply too deep to fit as the lower part of it could drag on your front wheel - especially if you have front suspension/are riding a 29er.I can certainly fit a summer bag, mat...
