Re: Waterproof Overtrousers

I've yet to try these in the wet, but the fit is great and they're reduced to £105 from £140

Garmin Dakota 10

I've got a Garmin Dakota 10 GPS which I think will be fine as a backup for my backup Garmin 520 which is of course a backup for good ole fashioned paper maps. Question is: I know I can upload .gpx routes into the 'gpx' folder of the Dakota but how in the name of St.Alpkit do I get the uploaded route...

Sleep Mat

I currently use a OEX self inflating sleeping mat and it's ok but a bit big and bulky.
Any recommendations for reasonably priced alternatives?

Sonder Transmitter

I've decided to get a half decent hardtail to get out and do more stuff on. I'm limited to £1000 AND the Halfords Cycle scheme. I originally wanted a fat bike but a mixture of cost and availability has kicked that idea in the knackers. I really fancy the Sonder Transmitter as me next bike. Has anyon...

Re: Sleeping bag advice

Has anyone tried the British Army Arctic Sleeping bag? It's been mentioned a few times on various Faceache threads as a decent bit of kit for cold sleepers but I'm still in two minds about whether to get one. A Cairngorms weekender in late October isn't the place for sub standard kit. Thoughts and a...

Midlife Crisis?

Hello. I'm new here. Name's Jack. Now it could be the onset of midlife crisis but I've decided I want to "do more stuff" and one of the many stuff I've decided to start doing is bikepacking. I'm already a mountain biker with a mountain bike and everything but I've never bike packed before....
