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

Reduced to £1200 I may well regret this but I think I have decided to sell the fatty. It has been a joy and I have loved pretty well all of the 9000km I've done on it. I have no real idea what would be about the correct price. How about £1200 for the bike and the second 29+ wheel set. Photos here ht...

Just wondering if it is anyone from here.

On a grey camino and very much an alpkit fan and travelling very light.

Had a good chat just above Colne on the pennine bridleway. A gorgeous day (unlike today)

Anyway good luck whoever you are.

Pretty sure I've done exactly this from imgur

When you click it this appears( [ i m g ].........[ / img ] )* and you just paste the url link where I've put the dots.


No 'voile' for me. It's worked in the past

Excellent, thanks

Is the brooks c15 still available please?

Leisure lakes and possibly merlin have the endura mt500 coat for £150.

I've had my 830 for a few years now. It's been really good, reliable, will last two long days. Until it rains. Then the screen is completely poor show and I wish I'd bought the 530. According to the reviews one fix would be to get a 840. But I have just seen this as an option. A garmin remote. https...

If I can get the photos to work! https://imgur.com/vtuB9s9 https://imgur.com/rR2N1tm https://imgur.com/WOJfvQB https://imgur.com/4rCfzMp https://imgur.com/i3KmRTH https://imgur.com/kdzPQRc https://imgur.com/5SiM5QO https://imgur.com/EsaPZG7 https://imgur.com/TprYJcW Nope, can't do images!

Well the weather certainly didn't hold off on Thursday Andy. We ended up doing an abridged version. We missed the Cornholme loop above Todmorden but called in to the welcoming Mays shop. I know it well and new that would be a tough 2-3 hours extra. We hid in the Robin Hood at Peckets Well, had a wel...

Setting off to do this tomorrow with Pete of this parish.

Starting from Edgworth and riding over to Watergrove to start it proper.

@ton, you made a generous offer, oooo, about a year ago, thanks. But we have decided to be car free. No idea where we will camp. I'm hoping to be somewhere above Holme.

Never met and yet often confused, well I am at least, how about you ̶B̶i̶l̶l̶, sorry Phil.

As for the battery, not my post but Alan already contacted apparently

My main problem with shimano brakes has been several broken levers.

I've upgraded my main bike to hope tech 4 e4, no complaints so far.

Found a week ago, so possibly from ht550
