Well, the demo thing doesn't work.
I just paid the £13 for the one-off Pro version (not the XE subscription model).
So far, so good. Have got it on my phone, changed maps (UK and worldwide), found where I am and imported GPXs.
All I needed :)

Flask for a tenner https://www.bananaindustries.co.uk/products/copy-of-bottle-for-life-32oz-990ml Comes with three free pairs of socks too. Got the flask last month and using it for water, works well for that. No idea of how well it works for hot drinks. They’ve also got 15% of sunglasses and socks...

Vittoria Gato and Peyote 29er XC Tubeless Tyres
Two tyres for sale. Very light use, you can still see the wee noodly bits on them. Have been set up tubeless before so there is some residue inside. Have given them a clean as best I can and dried them out. Front (Vittoria Gato 29x2.2) Rear (Vittoria Peyote 29x2.1) £25 for the pair or £15 each - inc...

Re: Recommend me a quilt
The Sea to Summit Cinder 2c quilt is on sale for around £120 at the moment.
Nicely designed, I'm very happy with my 10c one.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
It's a cheery Friday (well, Saturday) for me as I quit my job last week and don't really plan on getting another one any time soon. Was pretty high stress (senior management level) and in a difficult subject (investigating child abuse) and my cortisol levels weren't doing me any good. I decided to b...

Backcountry Navigator Pro looks like the best bet for me..

Maps for my phone - alternative to OS Maps?
Am looking for suggestions for maps on my phone. I normally use OS Maps Premium but the subscription is out and they want £35 to renew. So thought I would see if there is something better. I'd like 1:25k maps, to be able to import GPXs and follow them, to be able to download maps offline, and to be ...

Re: Wild Country Zephyros Compact 2 Tent Opinions Please
I had the 2 man XL lite version.
Great tent. Easy to pitch well, well designed and robust. Lives in it for 3 weeks in a row.
I only sold it as I only ever camped alone (thought my girlfriend might come along but nah) so went for something smaller.

Although the maximum cassette for that mech is meant to be up to 40t, the 42t is no problem and didn't require a goatlink o...

I'm selling my Nortik Trekraft. I actually think I bought it off someone on here? It has done good service - multi day camping trips down the Tay and Spey, day trips and bikerafting over Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom. https://i.postimg.cc/gJH9GQZq/PXL-20240322-100705678.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/X...

Not even any drop offs. Apart from one track which has an unsigned gap jump on it! I almost made it, but now have pe...

Your shoe size number is related to the size of an ear of Barley.
