i can see my ass getting wet in them for sure

Ha Flatfishy, they sounds great! maybe ill look elsewhere.

Having just brought so winter NW Celsius boots after 15yrs of cold feet, ive also realised i need winter trousers that are gonna keep out the cold and wet. Been looking at the Altura attack X winter trouser, anyone use these if so any good?? Or are there better recommendations to be had please

im using a rab quantum 250 right through yr other than when its really cold then i get the PD600 out, its light weight packs down small. this bag kept me dry on snowdon summit in the damp cloud for a night i woke up it was soaked however i was dry inside! no good for a second night tho once wet

@99percentchimp, have u a gpx of ur route i could nick please. And im guessing that the Lon Las Cefni is on Angelsey. My friend has been up there and said it has some nice riding? Fancy a trip up but wouldnt know where to start.

thanks chew, just ordered one to try out!!

Has anyone tried this ive got a 'anything cage' which im gonna use on my fork however iv no bosses as its a fox float so thought what the hell ill use a jubilee clip? anyone tried this and would it be recommended...the engineers amongst you will prob not agree :0)

my size ten flyrocs fit a treat im a 10.

George fisher are selling rab alpine bivy bags at 90quid down from 165 just brought one myself seems like a bargain event to so should be waterproof and way big enough

Ah ok Chew sorry its gonna be mid week, prob mon/tues

ok so how many of u r like me and dont stretch after a ride. Well now im suffering from a bad back so what stretchs would help??

Hi Chew, i have been looking at maybe the borrowdale bash route, or theres a route from Chapel stile area that ive done in past taking in some of the north face trail too where i found a huge cave/old mine that could be a good spot if crap weather, im off to climb Teide tomoz but back fri so will av...

yeap brought a msr ti kettle from states thinking id saved money then got stung by royal mail for handling fee?? WTF!! so actually could of brought it in the uk for cheaper....lesson learnt there!

if anyone can recommend a route or overnight spot feel free

Ill be heading up to the lakes about 10th to 15th feb to see the GF. Im gonna take my bike n stuff and get a overnighter in somewhere in that time. Anyone around and free up that way and fancy joining me then get intouch, no route planned yet but will work on it asap.

i thought it summed up our efforts and miles pretty well mate, u look shagged. haha

highlights from a great yr 2012... It was all started with the Mach n Back in Jan and what a great start it was ( i told hux to put some fairy lights in ) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8076/8399465210_06608bcabc_z.jpg Then March came and me and Hux rode to Nant Ryhs bothy http://farm9.staticflickr.c...

Any of them coz if im looking at one then im not at work!

bag was soaked in the morning stuart, this was on the berwyns last yr.

i had to use the cheap ex army bivvy I've got tues. it was really cold but i suprised that i had no moisture in it what so ever shame its so bulky n heavy....my only reason for wanting to spend more cash on one had the hunka but wasn't that impressed with it in the rain?

its a long way off but if im not working then id like to join in, i like chews idea of tea and cake more!!

Just came across the MSR AC bivy bag? Anyone used one of these looks good and has a midge net!!

gari that would be fab offer, im leaving car at oban fire stn then feery to outer hebs-ullapool via torridon to fort aug on the 400trail then ill be doing the two cairngorm loops for a week, 4 weeks in total bike packing should be fun. Ill be starting 22-4 till about 17-5

Hi guys i know some of u must have one, so im looking to buy one as they r lightweight. Question is are they worth the money and do they work well ( room for a winter down bag ) or is there better out there for the money? :?
