Brilliant experience. Thanks Alan Also thanks to Fat bike Phil, Ricky C (river crossing up to jersey pockets), Steven, Carl and Javier (whose ankle is giving some real stick). Well done Fraser McBeast - but I'm sure you'd enjoy it more if you occasionally stopped and slept! For anyone considering ne...

I had those kids

Sticks and stones....... Violence is never the answer with children.

Which shop were you aiming to patronise on Monday?

I take it all the shops will be closed, just like Sunday?

Contin stores open 8-6 on a Sunday, isn't it?

I've had a close eye on the weather for events at Keswick Mountain Festival. The forecast for this weekend has significantly changed three times today! Now looking dry and quite sunny, instead of cool and raining. "Uncertain" seems the only certainty. River crossings? Noah problem...... ED...

Mines moved too.

I've now set up a share page, so Mrs W etc should be able to spy on me (thanks Fraser). I think everything now works/behaves as expected

I paid 177 euros and the invoice says Tracker unlimited. It tracked me last night on the 'My Account' page on Spot. marking 19 points over about an hour and a half. It's also now showing as tracked on the HT550 page. I'll check on a dog walk later. Thanks folks.

I assume to 20 Euros to join the event page gives tracking for a time. Will check, ta.

Great - read that you would be. Will pm you.

May be interested in the bag, if you can take it to Tyndrum on 22/23rd?

Much obliged

Activated track and it flashed at me all the way
My own follow me spot page had correct location with each check in message, just no tracking. HT550 track page still has my 'sign up' location from couple of days ago.

I take it the trackleaders page only starts tracking once the event starts. Last nights test didn't track at all.
Also (numpty mode), with the basic package from Spot, tracking isn't available is it - only the messages sent show your position. Ta.
Can't decide on tent or bivi bag........

Ilan, there are bike shops in Fort William and a small one in Ullapool (ullapool bicycles.com).
Don't know of any others. Best to assume you won't use any.

Finish is the big clock at the station is it not?

Not mine, but maybe worth a punt?

Is there a trackleaders linky for us voyeurs?

Raises hand and hangs head in shame......

Cairngorm Loop could be interesting this W/E

No problem at all.

£15 bearing in mind the new pads x4?

Argh - they're 9 speed........must have been an early adopter. I have some 8 speed Alivio triggers (8x3) and V brakes - Shimano brakes with Cannondale levers. Levers a bit scuffed, but nearly new dual compound pads. Also have: Two FSA (Alphadrive?) triple chainsets Alivio front and rear mechs New un...

I‘ve got LX integrated shifters and levers and some V brakes (tektro I think). £20?

I‘ll be driving from Keswick via Carlisle and may have space in the van if anyone‘s sruggling for transport. Probably 10am Keswick, 11ish Carlisle on the Friday. May be doing an airport collect. Get in touch if interested. May be a long wait for a lift back though............
