Not much this year but I do have ...
1/ A pair of sunglasses with red / orange lenses and black frames.
2/ A lovely water bottle with what I think are rainbows on.
Get in touch if you'd like either back.

I don't think you're the first to think of that Bill, so I'm fairly sure it'd work.

Re: Missing the point?
They believed a good adventure should be “difficult without being agonising, dangerous without being suicidal, exotic without being obscure and awkward without being impossible.” Is riding a bike on a reasonably smooth gravel road for a couple of hours really any of those things for 95% of the popu...

Re: Missing the point?
I think there's a real demand for easy off road (i.e. traffic free) trails that you could ride on what continental Europeans would call a trekking bike and what we used to call a hybrid. Many people just don't want to mix with the ever-increasing traffic on the roads, but aren't adrenaline-pumped t...

Re: Missing the point?
I really don't think anyone including myself is saying it's a bad thing but that the marketing bollox really ought to stop. Personally, I tend to feel that if not, then before too long many people will have little idea about what's real and what's fantasy ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Missing the point?
Although a bit of me knows I shouldn't mention this, there's another part of me that simply can't resist ... sorry :wink: I spotted that Coed Y Brenin have recently opened 100km of new tracks and obviously that is a good thing if it helps get bums on saddles.

Re: Recommend me a quilt
I've got a Cumulus 150 and 350 ... both very good and I believe the newer ones are wider which is much better. A custom Enlightened winter quilt which is also lovely but probably far too much for general UK conditions. ... and a Sierra Designs Nitro 800 which I find perfect for most of the year. It'...

Re: Water Filter
The only issue with a Sawyer or similar can be filling the bag - weirdly, if you cut the bottom of the bag off, things are far easier.

Goldilocks - first completion.
Congratulations to Ben Hudson on being the first person to complete Goldilocks. It took him around 6 days and 8 hours and I can't imagine it was done beneath blue skies ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Sorry, forgot to mention that he was riding SS, so probably a reasonable amount of walking involved me thinks.

Re: What is ádventure?
Does a micro-adventure reduce the time on an adventure or reduce the amount of adventuring during the adventure? Or maybe just reduce the expectation of adventure? Can you have an adventure of the mind tunnelling into words or is an adventure exclusive to getting outdoors and doing something? So ma...

Re: WRT GR's
Yes. The large double gate at the far end could be locked (doubtful) but there's a smaller pedestrian gate to the side.Does anyone know if you can get to Carno through the windfarm from the Towers without meeting any locked gates as due to shoulder issues lifting the bike over isn't possible ?

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Not an easy thing to do V especially as we get older and the prospect of living without someone can seem harder than the reality of continuing to live with them. These things have a habit of working out though.
