Hi. My name is Shafiq and I am a missed-the-BAM-again-oholic.

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
Mrs G and I spent last week in a cottage up north at Cragganmore, right next to the Speyside Way, etc, etc. Very pretty camp! I've not bivvied in proper rain yet but it was enough that I doubt I'd sleep. I'm planning on making a bivvy that raises the fabric off my face. Do you have any thoughts or ...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
I returned safely late last night from the Peak District following lots of wedding type things. My favourite part of which was a quote from the brides fathers speech. He was present at the birth of his grandson (my nephew had covid and couldn't attend) and he described looking down onto his daughte...

Re: selling all and getting a cheating bike.
A friend of mine has recently had massive health problems and spent about nine months in hospital. He's been on bikes all his life. He got an e-bike so he could begin building his fitness again. He told me that he can get out with 'normal' bikes and keep up or get knackered if he wants a work out. I...

Re: Ripstop by the Roll purchase premium in the UK?
Thanks whitestone. I was bracing myself for 30% so that's in the ballpark. Did you find the gear as advertised? Happy to buy from there again? So far I've only purchased from profabrics.co.uk.
