Will they be used on the bike as well? If not and it’s for walking, then something like these Salomons are good. Had a few of similar style to these and they’ve done well (had several speedcross for trail running) and then I got some gore Tex similar to the link below. Done me well for the last coup...

Just in case someone doesn’t read the postie thread, STIF have a good sale on sweet protection helmets

A new bike helmet for the gravel bike. Last one is coming up to 5 years old and thought about getting a new one when someone mentioned STIF cycles had a decent sale on deer protection helmets, so was happy to oblige https://www.stifmtb.com/collections/open-face-helmets Probably should post it in the...

Was nice whilst it lasted for the one day

Starting on Jenny Tough’s book, Solo :-bd Heard her on the bikes or death podcast (thanks escape goatee for mentioning about this podcast) and thought she was vaguely exciting. Couldn’t wait for that episode could finish so I could start on her book Linky to podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/...

Not just you

A ferry is more polluting than an aircraft isn’t it? Recently read an article by Cunard saying that You have to question why organisers ban aircraft for their races but not ferries/ships to get to the races Looks like Eurostar is the best bet https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/travel-info/travel-plannin...

, the 10 commandments are for Jews and not something the Christian faith really refers to All the abrhamic/ibrahimic faiths have them and they are absolutely central to christianity* but less so to Muslims.(shaf will.correct here if i am wrong but they believe they were given( and the message corru...

And a wet one at that!

When will it stop? Never been so wet in work

I had to google it so I won’t spoil the answers. Was surprised to see Gabriel being mentioned though (which shows my ignorance) as always associated him with the Nativity story. As a side note, (from my knowledge), the 10 commandments are for Jews and not something the Christian faith really refers to

Pop us a PM Shaf and I can look around Cheshire for you

Got some Peatys dry lube through the post, something tells me the small bottle will last quite well…

Just discussed with a friend if this one was a form of nihilism: Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race I’m not familiar with that term but a quick google search would suggest maybe yes in that he’s done something that seems (almost) impossible (or I bet he had a lot of naysayers from the off). Anyways,...

Speaking of events, Cheshire Wildlife trust have released dates for their beaver nights. Think it goes to members first but after that, they go out to the public.

Wednesday evenings during May at Delamere Forest. Just keep checking their web pages over the next week or so for general release

Popped on one mine and a little silicon case too

There’s also some in Delamere Forest* but yet to see them

*Hatchmere but no one knows that place!

Its clearly.a bad idea to inflict clamping forces on a carbon tube Carbon steerer tubes? Don't get me wrong, the design does raise eyebrows. In my head, a manufacturer has designed that forked or spaced it to the forces required (here’s hoping) whilst a lot of manufacturers I’m guessing has not des...

I genuinely can’t believe people are clamping those to carbon frames.

My dad dropped off a copy of North Wales Pilgrim Way (as seen on TV), wanted to do a pilgrim for a long time and didn’t realise I had one on my doorstep

Think my dad is keen to do as day walks, so we’ll see as I’d prefer to do it in one go (or maybe two depending on time)

Impressive stuff

Thanks Ben, will look up the Polartec fabric and the 100wt. How many ... just one! : ) I'm not too worried about pack size as I generally have fairly small packed bags and can afford a bit more space, was interested to hear if there's a brand/material that does better than an average fleece on the ...

I get some stuff in a previous sale, softshell jacket and some windproof tights, so impressed with them I bought another pair of the tights

Both top and bottoms have lasted well, washed well and survived the odd crash too
