Cheers Pete! Yeah just about. It was tough getting through the work day, but no change there really.
Quite enjoyed the commuter BaM but would like to get a train somewhere more rural for another. 11 to go.

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Seeing things in a different light. This trip feels the absolute everything of squeezing it in to make it work. Life continuously got in the way of me getting out on my bike. I'd packed it up several times, scribbled enough of a route out, then been drawn elsewhere. Last night of January, it had to ...

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
I'd add that the tent weather protection is more significant on a level playing field. As in a field with no exterior protection. Tarps can utilise these half walls/ big trees / parts of the natural landscape much better in my experience. In typical internet fashion, I do not have any experience of ...

First up, good on ya for reaching out. I've been there and it is hard. Does slightly depend if you live in the city or hills?

Re: made possible by advent of ‘fatbikes’
I believe the key for the trike was being able to pedal at super duper low speeds, rather than aero. Although I could be mistaken for another similar record attempt.

Re: Wanted: nearly everything to start adventures!
I've got a 15 degrees comfort rated synthetic sleeping bag that I believe weighs 650g and packs pretty small. Possibly a bit too thin, for the UK, most of the time. I'd love you to get some use out of it, and selecting overnighters based on the weather forecast you definately could, so if you fancy ...

Re: Pile / Pertex and the moon on a stick.
I've got a Rab vapour rise that has a kinda a micro fleece liner instead of the thick pile, with windproof outer. Been thinking of moving it on if you're interested? I fit medium usually and it was bottom end of fitting me, now I've bulked out a tad. Other thing to consider may be this running kit? ...

Purchase wood en route to bothy?
Afternoon all, So my current resemblance of a bikepacking plan is to get a train into the depths of Wales, roam some nice tracks, then warm myself in a bothy (probably Nant Syddion). I would like to have a fire (and responsibly bring my own fuel for it) but not carry the wood/coal for my entire trip...

Just Eat Out So the idea for this bivi has been lingering in my dreambox for like forever. It was simple; take my just eat bike and box out bikepacking. Plan was bulked out as I waited between pick ups. Finish a shift at work, swing by home, chuck bivi gear together, mop up as many takeaways as I c...

Re: If there was a BB App ...
In a rogue move back on topic... There are two scenarios that I feel a bikepacking app could be useful, pre ride prep and during ride info. Pre ride prep a snazzy feature could be to look at the weather forecast and tell you what stuff to pack for a trip. I feel this would require lots of user input...
