Michael Donohue, XXL please.

Is it ethical to get one of these even if you had no intention of doing the WRT?

Asking for a friend.

I've got a Sea to Summit Traveller TR1 Long sleeping bag / quilt, and I managed to squeeze it, a 3/4 length underquilt, a down jacket, my sleeping base layers, a hat and a pair of warm socks into a 9l handlebar drybag.

I used to head up there from Derby all the time for climbing trips years ago, and I'm finishing work early today so that I can get there in time for a spin out. My current default route is to go along the Pennine Bridleway from near Cromford as far as Parsley Hay and then back along the Tissington T...

Conversely (of course!), heard on R4 this morning that as part of Govt 'anti-obesity drive' (drive??? ) we're going to get 'thousands of miles of dedicated cycleways'. Thousands eh.

I suspect that 80% of those 'thousands of miles of dedicated cycleways' will be in London.

Can anyone suggest any 20 - 30 mile mostly off road routes that aren't on tarmac cycle paths? I don't mind a bit of tarmac, but I've brought my mountain bike so would rather get out on the dirt. Not too far from Derby would be even better.

Cheers, Michael.

Sango Sands campsite at Durness is really good. Right on the headland above a lovely beach with great views.

Sandwood Bay, because it's beautiful and takes a bit of effort to get there. And it would be a nice track to cycle along (I've only walked it). One of the smaller beaches near Durness, because you can get supplies there and there's a pub. One of the beaches north of Ullapool, but they're close to th...

I'm going through that process now having moved house. Not really cycling equipment, but lots of outdoor kit. I'm selling loads of stuff and I'm amazed at how much good quality kit I've bought and found to be unsuitable for some reason, and then hoarded. On the plus side, it's turned out to be a biz...

Thanks for that. My feet almost always end up wet when I'm out on the mountain bike so quick drying shoes are reasonably important to me. I was hoping that they'd dry quickly as they're synthetic.

I'm looking for a pair of flat pedal shoes that are well ventilated, dry quickly, have stiff soles and will fit a wide foot. I tried a pair of Five10 Trail Cross LTs on today in my LBS but they weren't wide enough, and I would have liked them to have been more rigid. I also tried on a pair of Five10...

My girlfriend took a load of glitter and applied it liberally when we went to Festival No. 6 in 2018. I'm still finding it in my truck, random pockets and on almost every sock I own.

Imagine my confusion when I misread the title this thread as "Rum Butter", the traditional Cumbrian delicacy.

If anyone has a Sram Attack 8 Speed Shifter that they want to part with, give me a shout.

Cheers, Michael.

This possibly isn't very relevant to cycling, but when I read Chris Townsend's "Along the Divide" where he walked the watershed of Scotland, he was pleasantly surprised by the Central Belt section. He hadn't been looking forward to it and expected it to be dull, but found that it wasn't.

Montane softshell jacket, very similar in construction to Rab Vapour rise. Size XL. Similar in style to the Montane Extreme Smock, but with much thinner insulation. Fixed fold away hood, ventilation pockets and a deep, two way zip. Unused. SOLD

I have a selection Restrap, Alpkit Gnaro and Specalized Bura Bura. All fit on the normal part of the bar easily. I’m currently lusting after one of these although I really don’t need one. https://rockgeist.com/product/jones-bag/ Now that I like. I've got one of the Jones bags which is great for car...

That's a great place. I used to kip in the old quarrymen's huts on climbing trips back in the 90s. We used to go exploring the quarries on wet days, and in the climbing mags there were photos of Johnny Dawes and Paul Pritchard crossing the rusty old steel hawsers that were stretched across the quarr...

3F Tipi Tent with two inners. It comes with the standard 6 sided mesh inner (not shown pitched), and the two person 4 season inner that is shown in the pics. Never been used. Pegs included, but not the trekking pole. It does come with a pole joiner though. SOLD

Alpkit R I g 7 tarp in kelp, complete with bishop bag and Marlow Excel Pro 2mm rigging. Unused, SOLD

I've got a Big Sky Chinook 2 person as my winter tent: https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/search/big-sky-international-chinook As a High Volume Human I don't like to be confined to a titchy one person tent during the long winter nights, so I went for the 2 person. There's a one person too that ...

Very warm in very good condition. Olive green. Pics available on request.
SOLD

Well that wasn't very nice of them was it? I hope you just blithely carried on to the bitter end without the music!

With the music was switched off I could hear myself, and they had a point.

I was singing The House of the Rising Sun on karaoke years ago and they switched it off and told me to sit down.

Will £30 including P&P do you?
