Ripstop by the Roll purchase premium in the UK?

Has anyone in the UK purchased from Ripstop by the Roll recently? If so, would you please mind sharing an example of your order cost and the actual cost by time you received it after shipping, tax, etc? I'm probably going to end up purchasing anyway, as I haven't found comparable materials elsewhere...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

I don't have any purpose bike bags just yet. Everything is lashed on. I tried moving stuff around and struggled to get clearance. The biggest bag has my sleeping bag, mat and bivy all rolled up and stuffed in a bigger size sleeping bag stuff sack. The green bag has cooking kit, the orange socks and ...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

Flying solo last night and light was starting to fade when I headed out so I decided to head for the coast, about three miles away, hoping to just crash in a hole or something. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51411785710_dfb630da62_c.jpg K.I.S.S. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51410107062_4...

Re: Weekend plans?

Just come off a run of nights this morning and slept most of today. Out for a ride with friends in the morning, hopefully the in-laws will feed me in the afternoon then I'm planning on a solo Sunday night. Thinking I'll just ride around my local plantations and see what I find. I'm supposed to be me...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

Grand plans to work towards the GBDURO, GB divide, Dales Divide and one day maybe attempt to board the Tour Divide mothership! Ohhhhhhh... dear. And it all started so well :wink: . Absolutely avoid anything with 'Divide', 'Trans', 'Ultra' or similar in its name. Or anything with two zeroes as the l...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

Thanks for the 'warm' welcome RIP and sean_iow :grin: I don't really know if we have a scene. A mate talked me into a 24hr event (Longest Day Longest Ride https://www.ldlr.im/) and it's sort of snowballed from there. Grand plans to work towards the GBDURO, GB divide, Dales Divide and one day maybe a...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

Hi all, NOOB here from the Isle of Man. I've just started bikepacking with a mate and he put me on to the forum. Love the BaM idea so here goes. We got out a week ago in some pretty miserable weather, nothing but mist and rain. We didn't really plan anything and just wanted to get out and try the ki...
