Re: Badger Divide - S-N edition.
One of the routes on my list. I have ridden a little section near Drumnadroichit and remember the short, steep climbs. My hope is to have a bit longer and ride back down to Edinburgh on another route which I forgotten the name of as I write (need another coffee). Looks like decent weather as well. ...

Re: Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
Glasgow is the finish, not the start
Kelvingrove is the west end, I don’t think there is any free parking round there, it’s pretty much all metered pay and display or resident/permit controlled

One of these could work https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/micro-gripper/ :-bd £11 for something idiot proof is actually not too bad value For another £15 you can get it with the matching pot, cozy, lid and spork https://www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoors-Halulite-Minimalist-Kitchen-Multicolour/dp/B07PB64F9Q

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Can’t think of too many situations when I’ve been too bothered by the faff of setting up/taking down a tent - it’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought to.
Living in Scotland, the need for a safe haven from the midge has meant I’ve never really considered a tarp.

Re: What's your single best item you own for camping?
Depends on the type of camping Car camping - Exped megamat, is like sleeping on a normal bed. Bikepacking - Big Agnes copper spur ul1 tent, ticks all the boxes ; lightweight, roomy, small packsize, decent ventilation - only question mark is on its durability (only used it on three trips so time will...

Re: All new Flextail Zero air pump
I dont really get how it's more expsensive and heavier than a schnozzle bag (which I don't own). According to this ultralight version https://outdoorgear.co.uk/exped-schnozzel-pumpbag-ultra-light-large/ the Exped is around £45 and 90g. Apparently 1.2oz is about 40g (without battery). Aside from not...

Planning on riding the Badger Divide in April and will be finishing on a Wednesday. This leaves room for a 2 dayer on the Friday/Saturday before driving home on the Sunday. Ideally not too epic and mostly rideable! Any good ideas? Capitol trail looks good but will be too long. You can shorten the c...
