Now I see what they mean by herd immunity

Something lighthearted that made me smile https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-lockdown-goats-wales-animals-llandudno-nature-a9437636.html Seem to remember a similar 'problem' in Lynton. Perhaps it wasn't the white mice after all? Goats always look as they know more than they ...

remove ALL food sources

And that includes cushions for patio chairs although I suspect mice rather than rats.

That falls under the 'it's not a bug it's a feature' category.
Think of it as a beta version jacket.
Softies have been using this excuse for ages.
(I expect one will be a long to expand? )

I was going to raise the two types of R value for SI and US equipment but just found out that there is another new system from 2020 onwards. Don't know if its unified or they started again but it appears to be an industry standard and not too far removed from what we already have. https://www.ultral...

I can’t believe any Bearbones tramps have bidets.....

Following a thread over on the Guardian it turns out they are also known as bum guns.

White, 2 ply. Brand new

1x roll for £5

3x rolls for £10

P+P £3 for tracking delivery...

Is it reusable or tls type?

Same question but never thought of asking.
Narrowed down to Xiaomi mi 8, 9 or 10 and Huawei P30 pro.
Shopping for best price not in a hurry.

Helly Lifa base layer.
Pre silver type circa early 80s.
It is indestructible and the smell is not a problem to me.
Plus a Musto Thermal balaclava. Never used it sailing but lots of times up a mountain and bivying.

Never seen these before but might work.
Origin8 Strongbow.
Like a Jones/Geoff bar but less sweep.

G-One Allround 29x2.25 in SnakeSkin TL-Easy. Got them on 30mm internal rims and look huge. Managed a puncture first ride but ok since and they do fling a lot more mud and spray in the wet than Big Apples did. I accidentally rode them through some really churned up slop where they are logging round h...

Survival at sea and long distance sailing are subjects that have interested me

Have you read H.W. Tilman: The Eight Sailing/Mountain Exploration Books?

True stories of a crusty old character. Soldier, mountaineer, sailor and loner.
Cant think why he appeals so much.

Getting cabin fever down here in 'sunny' Devon.
Probably have to self isolate when the sun comes out.

Louis Garneau have gel palms and proper sensible cuffs.
At the rate I lose and wear out gloves I use Halfords sale bin and treat them as disposable.

Anyone got one they use and how practical are they? In anticipation of a mass start event in April, that usually attracts some 400 riders, not being cancelled it may or may not be a precaution depending on how things develop. My chosen mask, at random by revues, is on forward order only. It is a gen...

Mental, I really should have canned it but..... Lesson learned, if I’d opted for the bunkhouse I’d not have wrecked a good tent and I could have got into some serious bother being on my own. Chapeau - proper adventure I would say and shame about the tent. How do you think a bivvy bag would have cop...

You now how your mind goes blank when suddenly asked for a password and use name well that's what happened when I signed up for BB. I usually have a list in my head of bon mot that could be used for things like this but the retrieval system seems to go down when needed. Anyway there I was on my thir...

Get yourself a nice Sturmy 3spd

I have one - on my Brompton.

A bivvy of bikepackers?

A faff of bikepackers
A bimble of bikepackers
A whiff of bikepackers

Just followed the link below.
Deja vu all over again.

Yeah. The only ads you get are for tin foil hats.

You can buy tin foil hats?
All those hours I spend making my own.

Least expensive for the experience would be Juin Tech R1. They were on the Fargo when I bought it and once dialed in worked very well. Use Shimano pads and squeaky in the wet. Front started to fade and couldn't find how to service it so replaced with Spyre and didn't really notice any difference exc...
