Anyone here doing it?

300km is possibly over my limit so will be tough for me but I have just sorted my passport.

Thanks

In lots of bizarre symmetry with fatbikephil I concur with you almost completely, same cumulus 150, only difference being mine got slightly damp Saturday night.

Not tested dampness on other nights of the week but Fridays and Saturdays must cover a majority of trips.

So I have tried to send a pm.

My outbox says...

Outbox(1)

And I can see it there. The implication is that it is not sent. So stupid question. How do I get it sent?

My travers is still for sale. You would struggle to get a lighter fat bike.

Do you have any photos of your tarp set up, type and suze?

There are so many ways to pitch them.

What a fabulous weekend. That was the best weekend's riding in the lakes I have done. I did the gravel route obviously! Sadly I had two breakages. My rear mech smashed a rock, fortunately at the highest point of green quarter fell. The other was near total catastrophe. Trying to hide from the rain u...

Headline : we always need more pilots. I volunteer and ride tandems for two charities for blind and partially sighted and we are always in need of new pilots. If you think you might be interested please either message me or contact them or others directly. No tandem experience is needed as you would...

Obviously having a considerable effect on cost but what difference would it make to the weight by changing the bars to carbon.

Assuming tubes of the same diameter can be sorced.

I have used these from px with good success. Can't remember why but I ended up using inner tube instead of the supplied rubber. These were held onto the forks with tie wraps. I then also attached the cages with fat tie wraps as well. All was rock solid with no slippage in any direction. https://plan...

Clockwise also makes sense to me.

Easier to spell, but also, possibly more importantly, easier for me to get a train to Glasgow

Quick question.

If you were to do the badger Divide and the southern half of the Pictish trail, is it better clockwise or anti?

Edit. Entered

Hi Stu,

Back from my travels & I never managerd to sell this

I could do with moving this on. Anyone interested. #1200 must be a bargain

Retired at 59 2 years ago now. We went the financial advisor route and very happy with it. The only thing he failed to cater for was Trump ! The pot has taken a bit of a hit in the last few weeks but other wise all has been good.. If you have a few years to go & are mortgage free then my suggest...

Cheers Duncan,

I reckon you must have lived there too long. 30! Sounds too hot to a Yorkshire/Lancashire lad. I start sweating when it gets to double figures.

Thanks for the info. I'll do some more research and report back. Also got to persuade my wife to leave me there for an extra two weeks!

Cheers Pirahna, That route you have linked does go a lot higher I think than the gr48. Cazalla is at 600m and had that 'I'm in a ski resort' feel but the day length at the start of December was 12 hours. Enough for me, and with that being wall to wall blue, I'd take it. Was cool at nights, but nothi...

Picked up an om-5 yesterday. They are running the £300 cashback again so it was £999, or will be once I get that cashback.

It's only day 1, but blimey it's complicated. There is an awful lot to learn.

Sat here in Cazalla de la Sierra, north of Seville, having had a wonderful weeks walking, it has had me wondering about a bikepacking trip. probably around the same time of year. Don’t know if we’ve been unduly lucky but the weather has been amazing. https://bikepacking.com/routes/road-bike-touring-...

After years of using crap foam ones and having a very snorey wife I went to a local audiology shop and got molded ones. I've had them about three years now. Absolutely fabulous. Possible disadvantage, I get sore ribs in the morning when the alarm goes off and I don't hear it. Odd. Not quite sure why.

I'm still dithering on cameras, specifically the om-5 Would you consider a grey import from the likes of hdew or cotswold cameras? The major downside that I can see is that the warranty is just with that shop. Current saving today is £500, so £1000 instead of £1500. Yes I am a berk for missing the c...

Hi all, I am in a very similar position to @faustus right down to my original camera 40 years ago was an om-10 . Been looking for a while and nearly bought the om-5 when they had a cash back offer. That offer is on again £999 for an om-5 and a 12-45 lens https://www.lcegroup.co.uk/New/OM-SYSTEM-OM-5...

You can borrow mine for a bottle of red wine. It's tatty but functional, big enough for a fatty.

Based just north of Bolton but could head over to Hebden Bridge for an excuse.

When do you need it?

Reduced to £1200
