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.

Not sure I need a huge one Ton - is it like the Hunka XL? Also sounds like it might be quite heavy?

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

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...

Sawyer mini filter - not used in a while...

...by a while, I mean maybe 4 years it's been sitting in a box in the cupboard. If I give it a right good backwash, is there any reason I can't continue to use it? It's only ever been used in Scottish rivers, so nothing too dirty/risky.
Thanks!
