Does anyone else have issues viewing the whole of some of the photos (usually Flickr I think)? I can see a zoomed in portion of the picture in the thread but if I touch it I get directed to a black screen in Flickr. Not sure what is going on.

It's just how the image is displayed based on how it's linked.
URL vs img.....

Ah, your right. Just using [Img] shows the whole picture. Would still have expected to have been able to click through the image to view it properly in Flickr though.

You have to remember to make the picture public in flickr, I didn’t :-bd

Me and my mate Tommy, somewhere about Pitlochry on a week long trip from Thurso to Fife we wern't bikepackers, we had 2 panniers full of sub standard each but we felt like we were bikepackers!

I'm glad TLS has featured in my packing since then!

Can't quite believe I'm saying this but congratulations to Matt for clearly taking the piss out of me and winning the 'portrait of a bikepacker' photo comp into the bargain. Your prize will be duly posted.

Thank you to everyone who entrered and those who took the time to cast their vote.

Patently no competition for that photo of Stu which paints a million words :wink:, but while rootling around for Winter pix (see elsewhere), I came across this Winter Event pic from this year which I hope you don't mind me airing 6 weeks late (no I'm not angling for a booby prize), but I wanted to belatedly represent a/ a compliment to Stu for his continuing efforts for us all - check the chuffed faces after the superb Event ('specially that one in the front-middle :wink:), and b/ get the bikepacking bug early and it'll massively expand your young life.
