Bit of a filter fest but here’s my first outing into Wales for many many months

Cheers Stu

What’s the situation with Wales and Wild Camping? I’m thinking it’s still a no even though the borders are now open (yippeee!)

Don’t bother, merino socks are fine for keeping toes mostly warm in wet, summer conditions.

Waterproof socks come out on the second day to stop lost of the saturation from your footwear coming through, quite the fan of DEX Shell socks

I wasn’t allowed to play a certain song as my wife’s cousin wedding a few years back. Spoil sports

The Bastard Son

"I just want liquor and dirty whores"

Am I correct?

Banjo odyssey...

But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway…“

Last night it was Beluga Lagoon In the recent past it's been Отава Ё - I've no idea about the words but this hooked me in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbBU06irWT8 Plus The Dead South are still up there as one on my favourites too I wasn’t allowed to play a certain song as my wife’s cousin weddin...

Harry Potter ‘Lego’ arrived today, so that’s my project with mini-voodoo over the school holiday

Earlier today, Thievery Corporation ‘Richest Man in Babylon’

Currently, Barry Godin ‘packing in Scotland

i generally ride to stop thinking. thinking is part of my day-to-day problem This! If I can ride and stop thinking about things, that generally means that I’ve had a good ride. If I think about family/work/life etc. then that means I’ll be plodding and not really riding with any enthusiasm. And the...

A new lightweight tarp tent would be nice

Also, maybe a flat bar cutthroat but that really is a dream world

Jamie, I’d say whenever the campsites are open, we’re good to go. If that’s the 3rd, then that’s the green light.

Of course, i won’t judge anyone who ventures out before then

If you already have the jacket, then why not add a hi viz best or belt on over the top?

To me, lockdown has ended. If we can go on holiday next week, go to the pub, queue up outside our favourite clothes shop etc etc what’s the point anymore The reality is this virus isn’t going to go away anytime in the next 12 months (paraphrasing Chris Whitty) There’s a certain amount of just havin...

In a bid to post something positive, this week I’ve done well
-Apache helicopter
-Puma helicopter
-E3CF aircraft (big radar disk on top)
-More A400s
-C130 hercules

Think that’s the lots

To me, lockdown has ended. If we can go on holiday next week, go to the pub, queue up outside our favourite clothes shop etc etc what’s the point anymore

No problem

If it falls through, let me know

So how can this bloke start walking around the country unchallenged?

By restarting a long long long long way away from curtain twitchers

In short, I’d say no! Nice to have but not essential How often does your bag get damp or wet? Although I do believe the coating helps with lofting If I were looking at two bags of similar specs and one was hydrophobic and one wasn’t, the hydrophobic would sway me. My current bag doesn’t have it and ...

I know exactly what you mean! It’s going to be like a bank holiday multiplied by the queue for McDonald’s drive through last week :shock: I’ll be popping over the border in the evening time, will hopefully be quieter. Will wait for a big mountain day a month or so in the hope it settles down The Ber...

Emma Pooley should do well, she was like a mountain goat in her pro days and also a very handy dual/tri athlete IIRC

None on the seat tube either! Is it bent?

Look at the foot of the seat tube and there's an exit hole for a stealth dropper. I don't think any version of the Solaris has had mounts on the seat post.

Good point about the stealth dropper

Excellent. Additionally useful for overnighters, if I've interpreted it correctly, is: "Tourism industry is being told to prepare for self-contained accommodation, such as caravans and cottages, to take bookings from 13 July". I believe my tarp is self-contained. I believe a tarp isn’t self contain...
