Well im in at 58.5 which looked like a little over middle of the field. I did have a camera, camcorder and mini tripod in that though :) and I actually dropped a few things before the start (after the weigh in). I never took the camcorder in the end. Other than that I only had about 1lb of food left...

MAN TF UP :D

Rub the top off with a glove/hand/jersey, give it a little squirt to clear the inside of the cap and rub again to get the most out of the wasted fluid. Should be clear enough now to drink out of.

Alt. us one with a cap.

Pair of Shwalbe Smart Sam tyres sized as listed but they actually measure out at 42c.

Excellent tread pattern, high volume. Great Monster Cross tyre saw me through the WRT.

Only used on the WRT and a short commute so less than 100 miles on these.

£30 posted.

£45?

Depends what you want out of it. there is a difference between filtration and purification, both have their way of doing things. I sometimes carry a Nature-pure 1st need filter which does everything. Its not light though at around 500g but I have filtered water here in the UK and while travelling th...

This does seem odd. Im guessing it has something to do with US law and recalling the whole product.

I emailed Ison yesterday about my cages, see what they say... if anything!

Don't know if I want to try one but I'd like to come and watch captain calamity on his maiden voyage Ye of little faith ... but saying that, how long do you reckon an Inbred'll float for? strap a load of 2L pop bottles to it on its 1st outing. It should float. We use to do it while lake jumping old...

Looks good Stu.

I used a Mountain equipment Paclite Goretex jacket. Its an old one (Matrix) but worked faultlessly.

For those conditions you really need a proper Event/Gore jacket.

Mini? It was 8 minutes and used all but 2-3 of my clips. I thought it was on the 'epic' side

Regarding the right-of-way email from Stuart I was one of many stopped by a local going up to CP 1 on Saturday afternoon being told it was not a r-o-w despite no signs to the contrary and looking public. Is this the issue Stuart is raising on the email? If so I will respond. Reluctant to complain a...
