Re: What are you reading now?
You will be all misty eyed about Yr Hen OgleddIt's taken me decades to realise that Alfred the Great etc had bog all to do with Cumbria.
His grandson Aethelstan essentially created England and Britain at Eamont Bridge in 927, and won it outright at Brunanburh

Re: Sit Mat
Pain in the arse to inflate, and weigh a lot more than you'd expect as there's multiple baffles and inner bags inside it. I have some similar ones for beach/ back garden use. Inflation is easy with a breeze. They aren't that heavy as there is nowt to them. Just a nylon bag with an inner plastic bag...

Re: Bothy (brick building) query/interest!
There is a reason why nobody looks to treat roof collected water to potable standard, boiling kills bugs but doesn't remove other contaminantsNot sure how I'll filter it but I suppose it'll be good for boiling etc

Re: Bothy (brick building) query/interest!
If you bought the property you are in then in all likelihood you already have had the utility searches done. Just dig out the pack of info you had during the move.

Re: Things that have recently annoyed me
I really don't understand why modern builds don't have grey water management systems built in. Sure, foul water needs to go to the sewers but sending grey water there as well just increases the volume of water/material that has to be dealt with leading to increased cost for everyone. Because they d...

My worry is that cyclists wouldn't get off as fewer jurors would see themselves as cyclists who weren't paying attention for a moment like they see themselves in other drivers.

"KILLER CYCLISTS LONG JAIL SENTENCES!!!" screamer. Hilarious. They really are the dregs. Obvious who's behind it too - Grant Shits 'Transport' Minister, a nasty piece of work. Zero issue to anyone who rides halfway sensibly, the unintended consequence maybe that death by dangerous driving...

Re: Gravel riders - Sore palms advice sought
Probably the same, just with added "gravel tax" ;-)But upon looking it appears they now have a gravel specific version too. Which I'll assume has better padding or something?

More people = more cocks And more nice people, Those taking part are far fitter than I am, hopefully will close the gates and probably have a great time I think solo/informal FKTs attempts probably skirt away from being a race as there is no organisation, no broom wagon, no start list, no positions...

Re: Bivvy a month 2022
My understanding is that the landowner cops for the cost of removal, EA might want to check for evidence, don't expect it to result in a prosecution, just another line on a depressing spreadsheetwould this be an enviromental agency issue or would it fall to the landowner to clear up?

Re: wtd, cheap 29r tyres. Pair of
Got some Hutchison's 2.2 and tubeless iirc
I can confirm Wednesday
As a previous satisfied customer they will be suitably cheap.
Let me know if you don't get a better offer

Re: Pubs off tarmac
Checks map, looks at UK, rechecks map, errr slightly tighter rulesand presumably any pub on an island?
Some of the pubs in the link are not quite what I was thinking as the access isn't an unmetalled road (private tarmac doesn't count), others look like great targets for future rides

Re: Pubs off tarmac
It's a way of coming up with interesting places to travel through and a bit of a hark back to when there some really isolated pubs like the infamous Moorcock Inn on Rooley Moor Road https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/806559 https://www.facebook.com/RochdaleLocalHistory/photos/a.209484865875683/635869...
