Re: Hammock in the garden
The shallower the angle of the suspension the greater the force - in theory if your hammock was strung perfectly horizontal there'd be an infinite force acting on the wall I think you might need to check your working there Bob :wink: But it's a fair point... Although with the right fixings and appl...

Re: Hammock in the garden
Ah, yeah that arrangement does need more space. Is there anything (e.g wall) you could attach one end to?

Re: Hammock in the garden
I've got a hammock in the garden - it is indeed a lovely place to be on a sunny afternoon. I've put rings on the uprights of my covered deck to hang it from now, but it came with a stand of sorts: each end has two lengths of wood with an eye bolt through one end so they open out into an A-frame. The...

Re: Travelling across Europe quickly - how?
Probably not relevant to the OP, but I just stumbled across this relates article about a new sleeper service. Doesn't mention bikes though.

Exped Downmat clumping... maybe
I thought I had an issue with my Exped Downmat with the down clumping at one end of the mat... but I'm not actually sure. I can feel a soft lump all across the end of the mat where the valve is and where the chambers are linked together. I inflated in and tried to work the down, er, down and with a ...

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
Agree with most of the above really. Personally I use a 1.5 or 2l bladder, and that's just about enough for cooking an evening meal, morning coffee, breakfast, minimal washing up and general hydration for that time. I often use a filter, but to be honest, if I come across a tap not long before I'm g...

Re: packable fleece?
If you always have to wear the shell to make sure you don't lose all the heat kept in by the mid layer, then that doesn't sound like a very flexible system. A layer should be removable if the conditions don't need it. My cheapo base and fleece(s) are warm and I add a U/L rain top if it rains or is ...

Re: Is this 'bikepacking'?
Of course, Cycling UK were formerly CTC, the Cyclists Touring Club, and if I remember rightly there was a bit of disquiet amongst more traditional members when the Club both embraced MTBs and then changed their name. It's perhaps a little ironic that bikepacking possibly reflects a shift back to th...

Bum bag cover
Very simple one, but made a cover for my Evoc Hip Pack Pro to keep the crap off, particularly the zip, from some leftover lightweight ripstop nylon and a bit of elastic. Oh and some onewrap to secure it through the holes in the belt (not entirely necessary but makes sure it covers it properly and st...
