With some smaller drybags to enforce a bit of TLS, thanks Scott.
Also some New helmet pads to replace the minging ones and a new mobile.

Some Smidge (75ml) from absolute-snow (£6.95). 106g including ally bottle. It's either that or take up pipe-smoking.

To drop off a Columbia outdry jacket, time to jump on the band wagon. Need a bikepacking jacket I can get grim and muddy and wear with a pack

One of those analogue pressure gauges for the fat bike, and some brake hose clips for Beth’s Santa Cruz.
The pressure gauge is good. Gives the same reading as my digital one without the faff (and batteries), and it’s more precise for those days when you want 7.4 psi instead of 7.7 psi

...and dropped off a plastic jacket. Thanks NW. :) Quick test outside in the howling wind and sure enough, it blocks the wind. Looking out for some rain now to go and stand in.

Removed from the jersey thread.
A new Park workstand after my trusty Lidl special finally gave up the ghost after about 5 years and a pair of Panaracer Gravel King slicks. Only tyres I've bought successive sets of rather than just getting what's in the sales!

... and told me my parcel was delivered, kindly sent me a photo of the side gate where he left it...... very nice but it wasn't a photo of my gate 
Had to walk round our neighbours to see which gate matched the picture. Anyway, finally got a shiny black Cumulus 150 quilt, which I'll be trying out at the moors100 in a couple of weeks.

Re: The post man's been ...
ooh, I don't usually post on this thread but I too received a can of Smidge this week.
Along with some boxes of Quakers Granola! Can never seem to find the stuff in the shops and it's about the only crunchy granola that I've found that I can safely eat with a nut allergy.

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

No weight for the LP ? I wonder if those old 45s with the removable centres (to reduce weight, obvs) were the early fore-runners of TLS..?RIP wrote:Bosvision 'shoelace lock' (copyright Sarah), 88g bright orange £9; Alpkit fuel pod (large) in LS07 fabric, 59g half the weight of VX21; Undertones 1980 LP 'Hypnotised'.

Completely OT but any old punk rockers on here should listen to Mark Riley’s A-Z of punk podcast which is really quite good.

Re: The post man's been ...
Not the post man but a trip over the border to collect a present someone had for me. I shall split it into staves next week then patiently wait 18 months. I'll not tell you what that piece of wood is potentially worth once split because you wouldn't believe me

Possibly not unrelated, I've just found a website called 'barebow(ns)archery.co.uk' - what good naming taste they have

Goodness me. How much? For one??
Just, erm, nipping off to our churchyard across the park, erm, shan't be a tick. What's that under my jumper? Nothing, nothing.. <edges out of the door trying not to disembowel himself on the sharp teeth>...

Not that I will sell any because it was a gift, I will however make at least two bows from it that I will gift to others ... because they are lovely people but who have the bow making skill set of a baboon
