I'm thinking of doing the Womble trail as a gear/rider tester overnight.
Has anyone done packed here?
Any thoughts?

There has been a few of us on here that have done some overnighters/multiday stuff on the Womble and the Ouachita Trail.  Search "ouachita" and I bet you'll find them.  Otherwise post up a specific question and we'll help as much as possible.

actually I just did a search.  Type in "Arkansas" and you'll get more hits.

I'm not coming up with anything searching.
Maybe I'll just start a topic

That's weird, I did the search at work and pulled up a bunch, now that I'm at home I'm not pulling anything up.  Let me see what I can find for you, but if you have any questions just post up.  I've done 2 multi days on the Womble and the Ouachita combined.  Both were great trips.  I think the Womble is a perfect trail to get things dialed in.

Here is a link to a video that I made of one of our trips.  It's just raw footage but you'll get the point...

And another link.  I guess the first one was our original trip, and this one a different one (video)...

Hope that helps.  I'm wanting to go back up there in the spring for a quick weekender.

I posted up some questions over there as well.  Hopefully I can get some clarification so I don't get lost like last time.  I love the OT and the Womble.  It's the only area I can think of that is singletrack friendly for bikes that you can ride on for longer than 20 or 30 miles without having to double back on in the region.
