Spot on.

Looks like colour is the winner, too.

I've got two edits in front of me of the same image, and really cannot decide which I prefer (which is actually weird, because I normally have a pretty dolls idea of what I want from an image before I even hit the shutter) -- so I thought I'd post them both up here and see what you all prefer. Colou...

Gwyn the post delivered a surprise package to the Towers this morning. I'll refrain from telling you what the contents were for the moment. However, in an effort to work out which generous soul might have sent it, there's a couple of questions I'd like answering if you have a minute. 1/ Do you or h...

We pannier people have to stick together :lol: Look forward to reading more when you get time. You are right that these write-ups do take a long while to put together. True that! Although I don't use pannier exclusively… Next one is written, just image processing now, so we'll see but it shouldn't ...

Really enjoyed reading that - yes please post more. It looks like an amazing trip. Just to be pedantic though - it is 'breathe' not 'breath' in the second para ie 'finally we had some room to breathe' Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix that in a tick :grin: Really helpful when you get someone g...

Just received my copy of Joining the Dots, too.

Hot off the press!

This is the guys you meant, right? http://www.bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/s ... -line-sets

What lines do you tend to go for to secure them down? In fairness you could use anything you like but ideally, something light that doesn't absorb water, won't stretch nor easily tangle ... some nice Dyneema in the shop that fits those criteria. One thing I would avoid is using elastic cord or bung...

I finally got around to publishing the next part for this, focusing on Greece. It's titled Diesel and Dust , and I'd appreciate any feedback anyone fancies giving! As always, a couple of teaser images… EDIT: The link would probably help https://danielgroves.net/adventures-photography/2017/02/eurovel...

Cool, thanks everyone. I'll give all those options a look over. I've got a bit of time to decide yet as I need payday before ordering anything! What lines do you tend to go for to secure them down? Any old guy line? Paracord? Anything specific that's better for any reason?

How about a hooped bivvy. I have a Outdoor Research Helium Bivvy which I really like and nice and light @ 500g :-bd Hmm, they look quite nice. I actually quite like the idea of hopped s'long as the pole goes small enough to get it inside my framebag. Poles that are too long is part of why I want to...

Surprised at lack of crampons!

Was pretty soft still at that point, so not very slippy at all. They were fitted about half hour alter though! The wind was the issue at this point. Consistently 50mph+ with gusts even higher.

Hi all, Looking to pickup a divvy bag and tarp. Fed up with trying to cram the tent in just because I already have it. Ideally I'd like a bug mesh on the divvy -- I can't stand trying to sleep with midges crawling all over me! Again, tarp to sleep one/two would be great, but a bit bigger is fine as ...

looks like foggintor quarry to me.

Close but not quite! It's Haytor Quarry. Was a PITA getting all the tents up there, but quite an atmospheric place to go.

Thanks! Here's another from the weekend before last for you

Been a while since I posted anything so I'll put a couple more up in a few days. These are from last weekend. http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cloud.danielgroves.net/KlS5BoOXGv/20170120-DSCF1863-Edit.jpg http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cloud.danielgroves.net/mt4vXjtGd3/20170121-DSCF1885-Edit.jpg ...

Aye, that's spot-on. Got a few more shots in mind in the area for the future -- I just need some decent weather now so I can do the time-blending shots I've got in mind.

Was up a 5am yesterday morning for this shot. I'm betting a few people on here can name the location.

Currently: - Six weeks causing through europe on a touring bike - New job (because of the above) - More adventures somewhere else (might as well make the most of a summer unemployed...) Six week tour in europe went rather well, I'm writing that up at the moment. New job was't necessary in the end. ...

No -- Red Lake on Dartmoor. Part of an old clay works that's been disused for quite some time now. I took the picture from the side of the slag-heap there.

Spot the tents!

Got a minolta lens adapter to go with it so I could use some of my old 35mm lenses. Given the collection of old lenses I have I imagine that I will be...

OK, no problem. Feel free to add any other UK ones you are aware of - or have planned and not ridden! Plus any European and world wide ones. It would be a big help if you have links to, or the actual gpx file post on here and email gpx to info@18bikes.co.uk with FAO ianfitz in the subject line. or ...
