Re: A new camera

Hmmm just looking at the Customer reviews on the Fuji and it's pretty bad...

Might have to sell my SLR then as I never use it.

Anybody want a Canon 350D?

A new camera

Changed my mind and decided I do want some new 'gear' I always just used my phone to take photos but it's slow, not great quality, it lives in an aquapak so it's awkward.

Re: London to Wales......

Spot was great, worked really well, I should have bought the tracking as well though for the extra £30

Re: Mid Wales to Sussex?

Well it took me three days to get to your gaff and I can cycle to Brighton from my house in a morning so if you leave 5 days you'll have plenty of time and I can suggest a route if needed.

Re: Lets Pretend ... Dream Kit.

Do you know; apart from a front wheel that is fooooked and a saddle which is as comfortable as a Spannish Donkey I'm pretty happy with my gear. No more spending on the horizon. (well until Wildcat sort out a seat bag)

Re: London to Wales......

Well I made it, rolled into Aberdyfi last night. I nearly called in at Stu's (but it was getting late) I nearly bivi'd near point 9 on the WRT but in the end I just got my head down and cycled to the Pengelig Arms and sent my SPOT from there to confuse the Mrs.
