Re: Single skin tents: do they work in British conditions?
I had one years ago, a TNF one. Was tall enough to sit up in and was reasonably vented. Worked well from Easter onwards but did find the winter more prone to condensation (which would also freeze on the inside…!) I have bought a nature hike single skin tent but I’ve not had the chance to use it (or ...

Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
As ever, no ride plans. Maybe I should book something in as a goal/motivation. Will be doing another year of map colouring, got a custom OS map this year to spread myself around a bit more. Going to the TT in May/June, promised I’d go every year but always left it too late. Can’t wait :-bd Mrs Voodo...

Re: sorry to ask again but Wahoo or Garmin ?
I agree with you Ton, I’m fairly au fait with technology but the etrex was just plain awkward (with a non Chromebook too). Creating a route, then saving it in a certain file format to then have to plug in the GPS and then drop it into a certain file etc Fine if you use computers everyday but a pain ...

Re: Find yourself a Fogou.
A fogou is a name derived from the Cornish for cave. They are extremely rare, with the remains of only 15 fogous known to survive in England and all of them are in Cornwall. Don’t want to come across as an arse but do you think the two are related? ie calling it a Cornish name and then declaring yo...

Re: Which Exposure light?
Why exposure? Absolute garbage value for money IMO For me, they’re reliable and I prefer the all in one system too. They are the only light to have lasted more than two years (I commuted daily for 15 years, so used the lights a lot) I’ve managed to kill - -Hope lights (disappointing to be honest) -...

Re: Anyone use a foam mat instead of a air one
(Have the Z packs one) Wrapped around your bar bag can work or folded in half seems a good compromise for under the bars or on the rear rack if you’re that way inclined. They’re super reliable, not a lot to go wrong bother than keeping them clean during the day and relatively cheap. They’re comforta...

Re: Which Exposure light?
Have the Toro, great for road and ‘classic’ gravel and some easy XC stuff but does require a head light to look through corners on fast, twisty off road stuff.
Not the best picture and the light is pointing a little more down for use on road but you get the idea
