Alpkit frame bag for the Dirty Harry. Looking forward to trying it for size this weekend, and using it for real if my borah bivvy turns up next week. And a few drybags from Alpkit.
Last week it was spare mech hanger, brake pads, and a couple of other exciting bits like foam grips. Next week it's glacier gloves, and the week after some new (cheap) shoes and thin gloves.

Solar Storm light arrived for my nephew ... very impressed given that it cost less than £23 posted and arrived in 48 hours. Lets hope it doesn't explode or his mum will kill me

Funny you should say that ... I'm just coaching a bloke who's part of the MET Anti-terrorist squad. Maybe he's been sent to infiltrate the cymru PLOCue bombsquad, visit from the anti-terrorist unit and once again the fledgling organisaltion of PLO in Wales (PORG Liberation Organisation) is thwarted

Re: The post man's been ...
After riding around on a pair of wellgo v8 copy pedals for the last two years I decided to buy something nice so a pair of Nukeproof Neutron pedals in black arrived this morning along with some summer gloves.
Re: The post man's been ...
Sawyer mini filter picked up on the way into work
best price I could find was £27 but free postage was only for orders over £30 so I also bought a Trek'n'Eat breakfast pouch to make it £30.01

These arrived courtesy of Travers Bikes ... sadly I'm only looking after them until the WRT on May 3rd, when some lucky person will be taking them home. Perhaps I could 'misplace' them between now and then

Not bikepacking kit, but the bottles might see use on bikepacking trips when they're not adorning the road bike during triathlons

Yesterday the Postie finally brought me something: Klymit Inertia x-lite sleeping mat. 157g of combination of sleeping mat and large holes where the rest of it would be, but isn't. Quick trial on a hard floor seems to prove it's more comfortable than the floor itself. Not just for back sleepers either, found a position that works on my side. Pack size is impressive too.
Today I got an email saying my TN bivi bag will be a few more days

I agree that it seems possible to get comfy on your side too. Though its a week and a half until I'll be using it in anger
