Re: WRT 2015 ... so it begins.

Good luck to everyone. I'm one of the ones that decided to avoid the rain (and have been moping around the house all day), I joked when we made the choice to not come that that guaranteed that my name would be pulled out for the stooge :cry:

Re: Bivvy buying advice

How much are Borah bags? Can't see any prices on the website ATM. I think they're away at the moment so they'll have removed ordering / prices until they get back ...

Re: Water, Water every where an not a drop to drink

I used a Sawyer Mini on last years WRT. I found the squeeze bottle that came with it quite hard to fill and ended up using a standard sprite bottle and just squeezing hard. Are the platypus bottles better? What size would you recommend?

Re: Stu's Stooge review part one, what a tease.

Pity the Purple is limited, looks interesting but don't think I can afford to get one for a while.


Also Stu I don't understand what would be changed by moving the bottom bracket round. Can you explain more?

DeHydradators

Anyone got any experience of dehydrators? My interest has been peaked after meeting up with two riders at the six bells in Bishops castle on the WRT. Was chatting about the vaguely exciting looking curry they were cooking up for tea. Turns out they'd used a dehydrator. I'd looked at the idea before ...
