Re: BareBones Fatfighters - The weigh in

I saw that one on the telly (ITV500 or something) it looked good. I've gone in a belt notch! Keep forgetting to weigh myself though! Does anybody go to the gym? I got a subscription for christmas and it's got a swimming pool and machines. I like the running machines but I'm scared of being shot off ...

Great for you :D

I'm just going into the 2nd year of an Open University course in a field I'm actually interested in, had to cut the work hours back a bit but fingers crossed I'll get a job that lets me get out on the hills full time at the end of it!

Re: off topic: anyone here into trail running?

Seems the lack of kit appeals to us all then. lets face it, no matter how light or minimal we ride it can still be alot of kit to deal with. More of an issue if time is short. The "fastpacking" idea I like, though its probably another sales term its still all the ideals bikepacking has of...

There's a slightly cheesy article in the current 'Scotland Outdoors' about fastpacking where the writer runs, bivvies and runs back again. Just with a rucsac apparently! (and a photographer ofc)
