The summer is over, the weather is miserable, so what better a time is there to head to Wales for the weekend for both biking and camping?!
Some friends have decided to go camping in the Brecon Beacons and I'm tagging along. For a change I'm being super over-prepared. I've planned the route on Google Maps, and chosen to stop off and see a few sights on the way. Basically, gmaps is rubbish for this! I plotted points of interest on a custom map. I had to then switch to old Google Maps because the new version doesn't do multiple destination trips (lame). And then I also had to copy locations of points of interest from the custom map to the route one. Gmaps wont let you plot a route on a map with any custom points on it, so I had to awkwardly manually copy between two maps, and use lat and long coords because you cant copy the actual named points (lame) Then, although it saves and remembers your routes automatically, on the phone it wont do multiple route trips again. So to allow turn by turn to be usable at any point on the trip, I had to do a separate search for each point so the phone would remember then.
Anyway, the plan's below. I also got super anal and started using www.trello.com (which I use a bit at work) to do trip planning. Actually a really cool little site/app. Plus I finally bought some breakdown cover (from www.startrescue.co.uk) and stumbled upon a random 15% online voucher link just before buying. Score.
