Re: Taking bikes to the USA and problems with the TSA
Dunno if this is helpful, but I lived in the US for a while and moved back to the UK in 2018. At the time I brought my bike back with me (purchased over there) as it was surprisingly cheap to do so. I acquired a large cardboard bike box from REI, part disassembled the bike and filled up the box with...

New Trail Shoes
Slightly off topic so apologies, but hopefully someone can help me! I'm after a new pair of trail shoes for hiking and general outdoors stuff. I don't have many specific requirements, just shoes that will last more than a year of regular use (does such a thing exist these days?), have decent grip in...

Re: The tyre amnesty thread - please join!
Good idea, I'll have a dig around the garage to see what I have.
I'd take that Barzo off your hands if it's black/grey? If it's new then happy to pay something for it.

WTD Bivvy Bag
Decided to try a bivvy bag again, probably along with a tarp once midgie season is over. I don't suppose anyone has one in good condition that's now surplus to requirements? Thanks

Re: Accuracy of elevation given in OS Maps app
During my hike the local SAR helicopter appeared in the next glen, circling around and obviously looking for someone, so I started to think about being able to accurately give my position if required...

Re: Accuracy of elevation given in OS Maps app
I always thought that elevation on any gps device wasn't accurate? The difference in ascent over a long ride logged by different devices can be alarmingly varied. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to be spot on by any means, but felt 50m difference was quite a lot! I know the route well that I took, but i...

Accuracy of elevation given in OS Maps app
Like many on here, I moved over from Viewranger to the premium OS Maps on my smartphone and over the weekend used the route mapping for the first time on a hike on Arran. At one point my elevation was showing as 852m, but my position was showing right on the 800m contour in 1:25k, (which based on my...
