One of the deschutes alikes arrived for me, I'll be using it without the inner as I'm a bit on the tall side. It looks like great quality.

A new strap for my traser watch, might wear it instead of my apple watch for bikepacking adventures so I don't have to worry about charging it. Plus a new battery for it

Oh and a pink welly bag for my wife!

Had this a few weeks but haven't got around to posting.
After the year I've had, I decided to treat myself and replace my Boardman cx:

Winter boots. Joys of buying in august, snagged them brand new on eBay for £73 instead of £150.

[psling]

Received a new Garmin Dakota 20 with OS 1:50000 package following Stu's suggestion in another thread that they are out there still. At £170 I think it was quite a good buy (don't upset me now...!) for my first foray into electronic gps gizmos. All I've got to do now is work out how to use it.

[Roobell7]

Had an email yesterday from Royal Mail to tell me there was a delivery due out that day. Hung around all day and no show

[techno]

Train tickets to skipton arrived, YD200 here we come

Trainline comes up with £183 for a return to Skipton from my local station Long Buckby but I can get a return to Leeds for £86.50 . From Banbury it's £187.50 but from Rugby £75

In contrast I took a return from Long Buckby to Liverpool at the weekend for £37 return and rode past Skipton station on the Liverpool and Leeds Canal.....

that's crackers. thankfully my tickets were nearer the price of your liverpool ones but i am only heading over from hull.

Hope you enjoy it as much I have mine...

A Colorado Trail handbook. Hmm

A Colorado Trail handbook. Hmm

If I don't do it next year, my book will probably go out of date! But I also fancy the AZT, and can't afford both, assuming I can get the time off for either...

I watched the CTR video that Alan sent out and I just thought "Wow!" The AZT doesn't appeal really, not sure why.

My Tent from Chinese Santa has arrived :D (in the office I I'm not going to open it yet :) )

If it's the Deschutes-alike then I am this minute chatting to Stu about it. IIRC he said 122.5cm (IIRC). I have one "in production".

A pipedream Sirius courtesy of Rob Mac of this parish, time to find out if steel really is real! Better order some shiny new parts for it I suppose, thanks again Rob.

Rab Kinetic Plus soft-shell waterproof. Love the feel of this - soft & stretchy, unlike any other waterproof I've tried. No insulation, but very light, folds up small and ideal for wearing with layers. I think it will get worn a lot in the summer, if it works half as good as the claims.

The bear likes it too...

These were half price in Snow and Rock on Monday, hope you got the same discount (or betterer)

I thought it looked pretty comfy
