Re: layering sleeping bag
s8tannorm Thanks for the reply. The 1kg+ down bag is one I am thinking of buying. The query was whether as an alternative I could buy a lighter lower rated bag and get a better result or more flexible set up by addition of a few extra layers and still come in under the 1 kg+ weight. Apologies if not...

layering sleeping bag
Has anyone any experience of ‘layering’ their sleeping bag? I have narrowed my choice for a new sleeping bag to two one down one synthetic. I am not overly enthusiastic about the packed size and weight and I am wondering whether I can do better with packed size and weight if I go for a 1-2 season do...

Re: New Genesis Longitude. Initial thoughts?
Front derailleur routing doesn't look right but I suppose it saves a couple of feet of cable.
I suppose you could go straight to 3 inch front?
Anyone know if its still running mech brakes?

Re: Advice from SPOT users.
You can get SPOT3 with 'unlimited tracking' included until end of June if you buy through an authorised dealer.
Thats three days to decide.
Make sure you read the small print as I expect its only free for year 1.

Many thanks to all posters of HT550 accounts I stand in awe. On the practical front could you perhaps spare a few words on how you managed power devices ie gps SPOT and lights.

Devices that worked well were Garmin Edge 800.........
