Welcome to the bear’s den… Just back to Big Agnes tents, as you’d mentioned the Copper Spur - they come up quite big compared with other makes, by all accounts. My Seedhouse SL1 is as big as my old Wild Country 2P was, or at least it feels like it. A good amount of headroom. Alpkit Tarpstar 2 is als...

Result!

What Stu said ^^^ It varies from one individual to another, but anhedonia (not taking pleasure from things you usually like) is often an indicator (certainly in my top three mental tells - irritability and brain fog being the others, along with chronic throat ache, itchy skin and sleeplessness as my...

Hi, just wanted to check if the:
Travail Tornado 26x4.0 tyres Blackwall, used once pr £50
is autocorrected from Teravail Coronado? If so, I’ll take these (assuming it’s a pair).
Also could I take the Kyote bar as well?
Cheers.

I can see the market for it but I am not part of it.( and would want to know site camping fees) It's just private camping dressed up as wild camping. It does have that feel of being a bit of an intermediate step between straightforward campsite camping and full on DIY, à la carte wild camping, yes....

I think this data should be open and not subject to a £20 per annum subscription. It's also not wild camping, it's camping on private land that is not a designated campsite. I definitely see the market and attraction to a certain segment but in my view closed data never solves a problem. Yeah inter...

I'm confused here, is it the same as this one that's been going a while https://nearlywildcamping.org/ Seem to have the same photo on the home page. Ha, that’s interesting! Maybe they’ve (both!) just used a stock photo? The dot locations on the map look pretty similar. Seems like there’s a demand o...

Thought it might be interesting to get the views on here of seasoned (and new) wild campers about a subscription service that’s just launched, https://www.campwild.uk/ . I came across it via a professional network (long story short, I’m involved with getting natural capital to be part of the solutio...

Yay, I’m in! Negotiated the Lite as already booked for the Monday - it’ll be a first, usually do both nights but it’s probably for the best as it’ll only be 4 months after my hip replacement

That would be fab, Adam, thanks

Hi, anyone got a spare Chris King 1 1:8” crown race they don’t need? Thanks!

Excellent Miffed I can’t make it this year
Adrian Rees - Large, please.

Ta muchly, Shaf. Will lob some via PayPal ASAP. Could also be some coming from a mate who I’ve pointed at your fundraiser

Is the fundraising still open now that the kit has been bought? Slow to the party

Alas, I’m not that near you here in Yorkshire to try mine out, but as another information point I ride a Small and am 5’7”” / 171cm with a 30.5” inside leg. It’s quite an upright ride which I like but I think being that smidge taller you might find it cramped, depending on your ride preferences. Gre...

Hi, more stuff to free up some surplus in the downsized mancave... A couple of seatposts... Thomson Elite 31.6 x 287mm - only used 4-5 times, as it turned out I could fit a longer dropper in the Bucksaw. Consequently it's in pristine condition, no marks on the shaft. https://live.staticflickr.com/65...

Hi, recently moved house and no longer have a cellar, so now need to clear some surplus from the shed! I'll be posting a few more items shortly, but here's a few to start with. Brand new with ticket, unused, a Forme 10 litre saddlebag - retails at £40 so looking for £28.50 posted. https://live.stati...

Seat bag still going strong after 6 years so yes, I think his stuff works well.

Pretty similar experiences to scud and Norway (kind of hard to play rugby in specs...!) - I get mine from Daysoft online, about £13 for 28 days of dailies of their Silk variety. Have Camino-ed several times as well as UK bikepacking and they’re ideal. Unlike Norway I usually (but not always) take th...

Cool, PM sent.

Yup, 21t Surly cog - very little use - used 19/20t in Devon and now round here in Halifax I ain’t getting up the hills on single speed!

Pretty sure I’ve got a couple of Surly cogs around that size, will check!

The pub option does sound great. Fyfield Down above Avebury has some useful copses on it, or you could pretend to be one of the grey wethers depending on the colour of your bivi ;-) On one ride we came across a bloke actually bivvying on the Ridgeway itself at the point where you can go right to Ave...

Feliz cumpleanos, Stu.

Grid refs through, looking forward to another WRT after a gap of too many years!

Was also pondering doing the Ridgeway (from Goring end) then K&A to Baaaath over the Easter break, Dave, so if you are able to post on conditions that’d be greatly appreciated. Having lived at Burderop I know how claggy it can get in the wrong combination of conditions!
