Useful tip-off ta. Didn't know LS21 was now featuring. The Tiger Drover seat harness is only 183g and I'm in the market for a replacement back end so that's food for thought.

10L tapered drybag 64g so that's 247g total. Not bad.

I'm one of the few who actually like a combined bag/harness and hence currently have an AK Koala. It's on its last legs so maybe a chance to try the 'separates' alternative. AK have stopped using LS07 (little demand apart from Reg? ) so the WC reduced weight is a big plus point.

I could do with the leeway of a 13L bag though tbh. 10L tapered is obviously the offering but I know people who stick non-WC 13s in there quite happily. Custom WC 13 tapered?

Couldn’t find a mk11 shaf so presuming all the offers are gone , got a mk12 for £275 off a warehouse retailer known to us all but hate to give the free advertising as the warehouse is 5min from my front door but they have to send it out in a van for delivery

Excellent. You just made my day. Thats 2 Acepacs at opposite ends (well one down south and anything fsrther than Landon is North to them) of the country living lovely lives. For reference, I made a route and thought I was going past Scarboro... then made the proper route and planned to ride and post in the morning. I did ride and post but only a 4 mile round trip and not the 160 miles I'd planned thankfully...

Hope its lasts you well and one day I shall go take a look at that waterfall (Wales I believe, where they currently don't want us )...

Lol... Thanks very much Sir. I think I first came across it on a random post on TrekLites... so thanks to you for playing your part. Bit heavy but that just means it'll hopefully keep me warmer

You didn't notice the dog kennel I was commissioned to build (under orders for the baby) all day yesterday...

I spotted the dog kennel but as I made a tarp for Ralph I didn't think I was in a position to comment

Sean.. You'd be proud as it fits 2. Think the other ones probably out for a walk with my daughter. Also left that gap in roof for a chimney (ain't any old dog kennel, new-age, dog friendly kennel)...

Sea 2 Summit 5L Evac eVent drybag. Webtogs, £8.50, RRP £16.

PHD Hispar 400 winter bag 'Before' (as they say):

and 'After' . Air certainly squeezed out through eVent base. Only minor niggle is could do with small tag on the bottom to assist extraction. I used to cart the sbag round on the bars (no probs, only 795g) in a 13L to help quicker loft. Loft just as good from a 5 of course and can now get the sbag in my 13L seatpack with everything else that isn't sleep stuff (tarp etc in single 10L bar bag).

Well Reg. At some point I'm gonna have to convince the 6 year old (AbduRahman) that we need to get out on a bivy and rhat his dog can come too. But the kennel will have to stay
