Halfords have got the Voodoo Bizango for a little more than that (£675) at the moment, but they're low on stock. I've been chucking mine down mountains with a high volume human attached for a year now and it's survived unscathed.

If you're in north Manchester there's a lot of good cycling in between Frodsham and Winsford in Cheshire, with lots of easy off road (bridleways and towpaths), cycle paths and nice country lanes.

I stayed on the Dingle Peninsula years ago, and it's beautiful. I camped on Inch Beach, and on the campsite next to it. Just down the road at Anascaul is the South Pole Inn, which was opened by Tom Crean after his years in Antarctica with Scott and Shackleton. He was one of the men who sailed from E...

Brilliant, nice to know how it's pronounced too. I nicknamed it the Witch's Tit.

[ Eigiau is my stomping ground, love it there. Yep the road is a tough climb especially near the bottom. Any pics of said trip? [/quote] Hundreds.... I'll post some up when I get the chance, and also watch your video from Pen Llithrig y Wrach. That was my final peak. I started up Pen y Castell, foll...

Have you thought about a small van? You should be able to get a bike or two in the back as well.

I was backpacking in the Carneddau at the weekend, and I parked near Llyn Eigiau. I drove up the Tal y Bont road up to Llyn Eigiau and vowed to myself never to go near it on my bike. I probably will at some point though.

The WTB Nano was the cheapest I found after a quick Google search, but not shockingly cheap. You've got me wondering now though Shaf. I've got a couple of Conti Mountain Kings in reserve (that I got for very good price last year) for when the Maxxis Ardents on my mountain bike wear out. Fortunately ...

I didn't get the seated bang, but it was holding air. I did unseat the tyre and try again with the same result though. Even with the previous tyre (Maxxis Rambler) I didn't get the bang. I put that down to the tyres being mounted on old rims that were made long before tubeless was a thing.

I've just fitted a new WTB Nano 700C x 40, and there were a couple of issues, one minor, one major. The side wall had a pin prick hole in it, which I guessed correctly would be easily sorted out by the sealant. This issue unfortunately took my attention away from the bigger picture, and after I'd ad...

If anything's steeper than Hardknott Pass, then to be honest, I won't be going anywhere near it. I cycled over it years ago when I thought I was fit and didn't like it. I then made the mistake of going over Wrynose pass before heading home to Workington through the Lakes, when all I was good for rea...

It's been so long since I've worn it that I can't remember. I'll do a pit to pit measurement when I get home which should give a good indication of fit.

Reduced..........

Not quite the same, but I started mountain biking when I was 16, way too many years ago, and then stopped in my early twenties. I returned to it last year, and was disappointed to discover that I wasn't prepared to launch myself down things that I would have simple back then. As others have said abo...

Stonethwaite campsite is one of my favourite places in the world, but it is very basic; it's only got cold water and drafty toilets. Before this year it only seemed to attract like minded people, but the farmer has had to close it after it was invaded by halfwits.

If it’s the same as mountain morph you need to unscrew it and turn the internal rubber around , one side is for presta the other for Schader, hope this helps I had the internal rubber and the plastic insert in the correct configuration, it was just a massive pain in the arse to pump the tyre up. I'...

I went for a spin on the bike this evening and suffered a catastrophic puncture that even Stan's couldn't seal. It's a cut about 8mm long in the middle of the tread of my Maxxis Ramblers. I decided against plugging it and thought that I'd patch it internally at the weekend, so put a tube in. I expec...

Have you thought about going north from Ullapool? It'll probably make logistics more difficult, but it's absolutely stunning.

I mix oats, dried milk and a packet of Complan together. I only add warm water in the winter, otherwise I eat it cold. If I'm feeling decadent (or when I remember to take them) I'll add some chocolate chips or buttons to it.

Shake it out and see if it still lofts. If it does, happy days.

I've used one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AEGISMAX-Urltra-Light-Sleeping-Three-Season-L180cmW78cm/dp/B075N8G9KY/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=aegismax+down+sleeping+bag&qid=1599123135&sr=8-6 to below freezing, backed up with base layers, thick socks and a fleece hoody. I noticed one of faceboo...
