I think the most surprising and impressive gig I've seen was recently. Nitin Sawhney playing the whole of his album Beyond Skin at celtic roots festival in glasgow. its an album I've listened to a lot over the last 20 years. He seems to be able to play any instrument and has written and composed vas...

I recall that one of the potential issues with shooting moors is land drainage. I know there's calls to fill in the drainage ditches and allow them to revert back to upland bog - something which should have a positive impact on flooding. I believe Hebden was one of the places mentioned? There’s loa...

I’m thinking 1350 with hope headset and BB. both 300 ish miles old. Alp kit frame bag with cutout for upper bottle. Alp kit ‘gas tank’ top tube mounted bag. Both bags are adapted with carbon fibre strips and bolt into the covered bottle bosses. Meaning fewer straps. Also a couple of scruffy but usea...

Good to see you back on here Neil. Glad that things seem to be looking up for you, it sounds a familiar situation!

Testing the water really, I'm fairly sure this will be for sale but not 100% yet. Well thought out, designed and all that but not really doing it for me and the TD will not be anytime soon for me. Maybe it should go onward to fulfil its destiny with someone else?? Size Large, silver/blue colour. Bla...

Oi! Team Fitz is an elite setup with only one member. Some of them schools have 1200 kids.

Also I’m only on there as I set up the registration forms for them and tested it with my own details. Then forgot

Still, looks like a nice beach I’ve stopped at, may visit for real in the summer

Great to see this is still being it’s usual spring-tactic self.

Savage! Chapeau to all who toed the start line.

What are the donor cartridges? Those tall thin ones that look a bit like standard aerosol cans?

Are they recyclable?

Sounds interesting but I’m not keen to generate more landfill for the sake of saving a few quid.

John is well plugged into the various Peak access groups etc. He’s led some brilliant work with various land managers to get legit access and trails upgraded too.

Some words on this from John Horscroft http://www.ridesheffield.org.uk/2019/05 ... UE2guFO7gU

I just spotted an advert for the Vargo bot a pricey screw top pan. Sounds like a good idea and something which is genuinely useful.

A quick search hasn’t found any, erm, ahem, replica or tribute versions.

Does anyone know of something similar. Other metals would be ok too

Looks good seems faster too.

I found some cheaper on amazon. But didn’t spot the £17 postage from the USA

I have a pair of rab ones £30 from a sample sale years ago. 100g insulation in mine do 500+g in total. They are too warm to use often, but one of those things that when I do wear them...

Ahhh. So warm

I was going to swap chainrings from 32 round to 30 oval. But didn’t get round to it.

Did pump up tyres and reset the saddle on Helens commuter though

I like merino for gentler stuff wherevill not be so sweaty but agree with Colin.

Alpkit makevsome drecent ones. And I recently got some kilpi stuff via sports persuit which were both cheap and reyt good.

Good luck with them. I had to cut one of the keyed ones off as the mechanism had broken and know of two combination ones that have failed.

I’ve used Bing and toggled between is and Ariel.

I find that not having the gpx track is good as it makes me study the map far more. Obviously is slower and not so convenient

Arrived today cheers.

Typing this while in it. Surprisingly warm for such a thin thing

I use cheapo refillable ‘jet’ lighters and have a spare micro petrol lighter

Make sure your feet are dry then give them a good rub before putting them in something like these. https://rab.equipment/uk/media/catalog/product/cache/5cc87aa3653b55e24e284d06f971ad2c/h/o/hot_socks_black_qed_18_bl_large.jpg Montane do a similar warm sock/Bothy-creeper too.

I use a similar system but I am a cold sleeper. Bobs setup would be good down to 0 for me. My 4season setup would need to be warmer than that.
