Yeah for me they are pretty narrow fitting but length wise they are. Happy to measure or anything if it helps.

Re: Great Glen way & Badger Divide

Was up that way earlier in the year and there is a signed path taking you round the new estate and onto the route. If you take your time it’s easy enough to follow.

Re: West highland way

Both have the plus point for me. South to north means you get the proper feeling of leaving Glasgow and heading to the hills. Also means you get the Loch Lomond section done early on. North to south means most of the walkers you meet coming towards them so easier to get past as it’s pretty busy. Als...

Re: West highland 550

Looks rather good. Have cycled most of it but never the lot together so might need to find a few spare days.

If anyone is heading round it I’m not far outside Lochgilphead should you need any help or anything.

I do hope it’s nothing bad for alpkit/sonder. Owning a hardtail if there’s myself I definitely wouldn’t buy another bike from them but don’t want to see anyone struggling.

I like simple and efficient so have a wahoo bolt that I got from here. Bluetooth with my phone and can sent routes in seconds. Tried Garmin stuff but just couldn’t get it to work. I don’t have a laptop so do everything on my phone and find the wahoo app works great.

Re: Paramo Torres alturo jacket

Hi,

I would say it’s probably too big for you. I’m 5ft 10 and normally take a large in most jackets and can still fit this over the top of a waterproof if needed. I can send across some measurements if you want.

Thanks

Re: Strathpuffer on Drops - Will I Die?

You will be grand in that. Having ridden both the ht550 and the puffer there’s nothing massively technical in the puffer course so drops will handle it all no problem. Rode it last on my surly ogre with no suspension and had no issues.

Re: HT550 - 2024

Not this year but hardly surprising I didn’t get a space since I have hardly ridden my bike since July.

Just need to go for a pedal round it in April and try again next year.
