Re: Old and New - UK Tour 2024
Starting out tonight with aim to go 6 nights finishing next weekend for a breather/scrub then out for a few more.
School nights out in Shrops/mid-Wales, anyone? ; )
I'd say Friday/Saturday at the Ragleth for interested parties...whichever day suits most.

Re: New Front Harness / Longer Bag?
+1 for additional velcro straps to hold things onto the bars/top of bar roll. I used to strap a drybag with Sawyer kit up there so it was easy to get to. Faffing in saddle bag for water filtration kit was a PITA.

Re: Recommend me a quilt
Was impressed with the Neve Gear Warratah quilt. It's a quilt...it can be configured to have a toe box...it has strap clips for attaching around mats...900 fill...rated for -2C...weighs in at ~480g IIRC. However, it's massive! You could turn it sideways and cover two people sleeping in down jackets....

Some waist packs I've used in the past (I'm looking at you Batpack6!) were chronic mud catchers...I'm interested to ...

Re: Taking bikes to the USA and problems with the TSA
No problems with TSA over half a dozen visits. First time freaked me out the box had been opened, but I got used to their calling card inside. One trip, from Manchester to Seattle, the box had gotten a bit mashed, but the bike was ok. Could have been either way, as I've had mashed boxes coming into ...

I sprung the $35AUD on a replacement fascia for my Etrex20. Device works like a new one and I left the plastic on it this time to keep the screen from getting destroyed like the last.

Heh...I went to order some sales stuff from CRC and all international postage was closed.
So the postie brought me some fresh M4100 cassettes and 32T rings from elsewhere to freshen up the 10 speeds. And some 'beaters for the lads new bouncer.
