Currently pitched in the living room thanks to it's freestanding nature!

It's a good tent, I just went out with mine with the fly only (+ footprint) for the first time over the weekend, halves the weight of it. Worked really well, apart from two little fabric loops on the inside that nucleated condensation into drips! A bit disappointed with that but overall really nice tent.

This made my week!!

Exciting box from Alpkit was awaiting my arrival home last night....

Containing...

Koala seat bag
Large possum frame bag
Both custom order in nemo blue (for an extra £5 which seemed very fair)

13L dual ended drybag
Mytimug - an upgrade from my Wilko 89p enamel mug and tin foil lid!!

and a sfoon-y sporky thing....

Paranoid maybe, but do you really want your full address on the net Dave?

I worked in ID fraud for years. Anyone wanting my address knows how to get it in about 5 seconds. It's something you should assume that nefarious individuals know. Although I have now got a club under my bed ready for the burglars who will be targeting my flask.

Dave, the address on your nominet registration is different to the one above ;-)

Yeah I use that site for pishing

Postman brought me a lovely little box from alpkit containing a some fluffy down goodness, a Skyehigh 500

Ofcourse when the other half comes up later I've got a feeling ill be ordering another one from alpkit

I'm so glad someone bought that, it kept catching my eye and is too similar to the frame I have now!

Glad it got there OK. We have very, very few issues with couriers but sods law......

Paramo Torres gilet

A great big box containing this years WRT T shirts

T shirts? Where's the flamin' BB jerseys??


(ackshully, no hurry - it's snowing at the moment )

Hope xc tech pro 4 front wheel and rotor after I trashed one on the weekend playing the fool.
Shame that I couldn't order a new kneecap too...

Montane Batpack 6 arrived courtesy of my nice neighbour - It came under immediate scrutiny my significant other half (oh... another parcel! complete with a sarcastic tone)

The plan is to ditch the rucksack and try and get the weight more off my shoulders, and carry a bit less this year

So I can confirm that the other half has stolen my new sleeping bag and is sitting wrapped in a bundle of down cosiness looking quite pleased with herself

So this morning the postman brought me a second alpkit bag for myself, and hope to put them to the test very soon!

Nice bags! I seriously considered this for my Lion and Tiger because my frame bag is made from surplus MTP camo material. Not as nice as that Leopard either. The gate staff always comment on my bike when I ride it in a military establishment!

I figured my next bike might not be green though.

A couple of fine carbon poles, waiting for me at work after my day off!!
Cheers Stuart. Normal high quality and particularly like the red shock cord.
Nice.
Many thanks.

A small, extremely light and totally mystifying bag arrived today, turned out to be my BB meths stove which I'd forgotten I'd ordered Chucked some meths in, set fire to it and boiled a ti cup full of water in about 8 mins Way better and less faffy than the vargo triad and lighter too.
Cheers stu
