Afraid I cannot help or advise but this will be an interesting thread too watch
This the reason I replied is to get the alerts as advice comes in from others
Thanks

Do you know if tundra bags have the down coated with any firm of waterproofing
I cannot see this info on the web pages
Thanks

Yes a good shout that one
You can get Similar via inistruut and trolley wheels so it's the same idea however your links to the shop provide much better value as there a lot cheaper
Well done

I've took advice off a couple and sent the tunnel tent back I wait till January to see if there's a deal on the fjern I like the " double door " entrance on the side of the fjern as it easy for me to get in/out A YouTube post shows it's also possible to put up inner/outer together in conju...

Can I have a little help please before I return the jack wolfskin gossomer Bear bones seems correct in materials used as the flysheet is advertised as 4mt head and the groundsheet a 10mt head this removing needs to purchase a separate groundsheet cover I'm sure when I compared it to others it was ad...

How about something like this - can be had for less than £60 and still supplies all the drawbacks of a hooped bivvy :wink: https://outdoorgear.co.uk/jack-wolfskin-gossamer-1-person-backpacking-tent/?sku=511400-01--BC-4065028161443&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAjeW6BhBAEiwAdKltMkxXDJX-yrGD8KI3l...

NEWBIKEDEALS.COM SCAM SITE Beware of the above dite as I attempted to buy a pair of shoes as they came up really good value in a search The site has lots of bike stuff I paid via credit card and it was declined with a text message to phone them up I did call and bank said the site was a scam A trip ...

If you want to explore different things
There's the remains of a downed Halifax ( I think )
Unfortunately it hit glendhu hill in that area
Been on my hit list to do for some time now

GREEN BOTHY is closed indefinitely due to structural issues
You will however still have a fantastic journey in them very secluded areas in general

That's all been very helpful The fill power of the decathlon forclaz is 800 CUIN equivalent to 750 fill power of the ALPKIT pipedream which is about £50 more I can only assume the ALPKIT must be argued to have better finishing materials. Zipps etc Or maybe decathlon being larger company has better b...

Maybe this screenshot helps more
Says there's 800 CUIN and relates it to " loft"
If it is 800 Fill power then that seems an awful lot for £170

Thanks both
The serac 300 does have 300g of insulation

Could you advise what CUIN is as a measurement
I came across it in decathlons help to buy pages

Is it the same as Fill power but a different format for ultimate the same thing

Could I have a little guidance on a sleep bag also I'm inexperienced bike packing but keen on a go The bags I looked at ALPKIT PIPEDREAM 400 £230 750fp duckdown 865g packs to 25cm. X 18 cm ROBENS CERAC 300 £190 600fp duckdown 845g. Packs to 26cm x 16 cm I like the shark fin boot idea of serac Theres...

It's not a pump..but more like a large Co2 canister
The MILKIT TUBELESS BOTTLE is a pressure tank same size as a bike bottle
They claim it can re seat tyres on the go
I've not got one but have the valves which are real good

Was thinking on lines of this ...there promotion videos suggest it's all ok to drink and it will be cold as well

I'm relatively new to this form of outdoor activity Done plenty of camping at sites I've realised how heavy water can be to lugg around I also noticed there's a water source at flittingford just by the bothy watch sign This source seems man made as there's a scaffold board restricting the run off an...

Visited last night in dark ...for info. The sign post on the fire rd / footpath has gone The footpath entrance has an obvious gap in the pine tree line In the dark we could not see the bothy from the fire rd even with decent torches in the morning depart the bothy is clearly visible from fire rd and...

I just bought a MILKIT valve kit with injector
The valves are really good with no air escape with core removed
You could likely bodged an injector with a turkey baster
The valves are expensive but very good
You will also need a form of booster pump to blast air in as well

There was a low level signpost to it off the fireroad when I was last there 3 or 4 years ago. EDIT: as shown in pic in whitestone's BAM write up. The immediate area had been clear felled, so can't see it will have changed much since. I approached very laboriously along the (increasingly non-existen...

Thanks both for that
We could handle a short push ok
We may even do kershopehead bothy and visit the downed Halifax which is nearby on glenghu hill but again is meant to be hard to access

I seen a few good posts on here and you tube and Google earth regarding access on BIKES But as kielder topography changes now and then My qwestion is ....can this bothy be accessed by a rideable route from falstone or is it pushing ? It looks real close to a loggers rd on Google earth but that may n...

I likely opt for the "cup" option I was not bothered about the straight from flask option and now I think it's just an extra payments for a devive that's not a huge benefit...I gave a camp cup with top on anyways that slides over the flask so it takes up no extra room ...I guess these drin...

Thanks all for the information and recomendations Can anyone please square me off about the merits of the drink from the flask types as opposed to the cup types in that I'm expecting the contents to be really hot So hot that it is not possible to drink straight from the flask by pushing on a device/...

Morning people ..I am after a mug or flask to keep coffee hot as mine seems to have lost ability to keep things hot I no idea how this is as there's hardly wear and tear on a flask as such I was thinking on a stanley mug as there British made . I need it kept hot for a 4 hour ride any more and we wi...
