Re: The central belter

Looking forward to the belter, booked in for the mass start, that being said I'm not sure how many people there will be. Don't really know what to expect either, just wait and see I guess.

Re: Tuscany trail

Sorry I've only just seen these replies, it really wasn't easy, that heat was so hard, but like I said in the write up the second morning I was almost suicidal haha. The coast to coast looks vaguely exciting, the link is below, I would love to do it but don't know if she will let me. http://italycoa...

Re: New bike advice

The vagabonds smart, not sure why but I'm just not that into it, maybe get a frame and build it up would be quite good. The other bike I've seen is the on one space chicken, good price an you can run 29er wheels on it, its undoubtedly light, could easily stick some road wheels on an use it for abit ...

Re: New bike advice

Cheers, well I do love the look of the Fargo, did it seem heavy? What's your problem with TI just out of interest? It seems to be the IN material.

New bike advice

Hi all, just after some opinions. Looking at buying a new bike this weekend, mainly for bikepacking. I've narrowed it down to, the sonder broken road TI or the salsa Fargo (steel). I like that sonder is a uk brand, love the fact it's a reasonably priced ti bike and it's versatile, an the salsa is a ...

Re: Sleeping bags

Cheers, I suppose I was looking for something around the 0-5 degrees, also something that doesn't take up as much space as what I'm using at the moment, I suppose my budget is below £150. I have been looking around and a mate got a helium sleeping bag on offer and it's ace, but normal retail is pret...

Sleeping bags

Evening all, I'm sure this would have been discussed somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
Just after some guidance on buying a new sleeping bag, something quite small and quite light an doesn't break the bank. Cheers

Re: Cairngorms route advice

The Cairngorms is bloody tough mate, I'd ease into it with something else. There's lots of climbing and lots of hike-a-bike too, although if you were happy to do it over 3/4 days it is easily manageable. Watch out for them midges, they'll ruin your trip for sure :roll: .I'm told the capital trail is...

Re: M4 Corridor Bikepacking (England)

Why don't you do something along the ridgeway, maybe do the double starting at the Turing end? It's quiet not majorly busy and some nice sights to take in, it also itnt far from civilisation should you need a pub, shop or B&B :smile:
