Composites solo trip to the bothy is getting more worrying by the minute :)

Whatever you eat make sure to pack the imodium

I don't post much on Twitter but I do like looking at what people have got to say, sometimes interesting sometimes not. The local weather and travel are handy, quite like the Fascinating Pictures, breaking news, how many goals West Ham are losing by :( Also like the inspirational quotes which can he...

I was thinking the same as flat_4,Cairngorm Loop is now looking like an interesting option

That looks absolutely fantastic, I have been fortunate enough to visit the South Island but not
with a bike :?
You guys keep coming up with such great ideas

I am interested in the coast to coast, sounds like a good one

The email from Beth is very disappointing, but not completely surprising, nothing surprises me any more
with the red tape in this country :evil:

Moveable Feasts by Cicerone is a great book with lots of ideas

Lhasa to Kathmandu looks like a fantastic ride, the run into Kathmandu is 100 miles downhill :)

Reading what Brothersmith has said about over dressing got me thinking about the cold feet I have been suffering with over the last 18 months and I think in my case it could be linked with losing a fair amount of body fat as I have got fitter and therefore possibly not retaining my core heat as well...

I would be interested in this one, depending on dates

Yep, that's good but they haven't got what I am looking for !
I am looking for the sweet roll,which looks like it will do the job for me, but is
really quite expensive for what it is :?

Where can you buy Revelate Designs Bikepacking kit in the UK ?

Health warning required indeed, another trip added to my to do list, fantastic pictures :)

The choice has been made, the postman is on his way with a Terra Nova
Thanks to everyone for their input

Field & Trek include delivery so that makes it .50p cheaper woohoo

No, not this year, I am having a crack at the TD before I get too old :)

£140 was the cheapest I have found from Field & Trek

I do want it for racing and it will rain at some point so the
extra money may well be worth it, the last thing I want is
my down sleeping bag getting damp/wet

Alpkit Hunka Bivvi Bag, it would appear from their web site, condensation could be an issue if you have the bag done up and you are breathing into it ! Current Goretex/Event air perm bivi fabric get 25,000mvtr, old Taslan Gortex around 15,000 and our fabric about 10,000mvtr which in real terms means...

I have read elsewhere about someone having an issue with the zip, the Alpkit Hunka sounds tempting at only £30 but it being so cheap makes me slightly nervous !!
Decisions, decisions !!
Thanks for your input

I have a Terra Nova Voyager tent and a Saturn hooped bivvi bag (which is really good but 1100g) and have been pleased with the quality and performance, but I was looking for something lighter and the Discovery Lite is 300g and GoreTex. I am open to suggestions that are as light, cheaper and of the s...

Looking at buying a Terra Nova Discovery Lite Bivvi Bag and would like the view of anyone who already has one.
It's nice and light but will it last and its not particulalry cheap.

Basically it's a route in Australia from Alice Springs to 80 mile beach, 1600km in
20 days across the desert, sounds a bit hot to me :)
