I have some 5:10's which are good for hike a bike right balance of stiffness and walkability

Also pearl izumi better for walking not as stiff

Use some lakes in winter which are great but hold water

I still have my 1990 special 6 shirt, never did get on with nothing underneath, brynje worked well, then again I wasn't getting fully submerged in the artic

A couple of decades ago that would be seen as a wide rim, we didn't die

Ahh OK. I've always burnt it on the basis that leaving paper in a hole seems a bit anathema. Oh well, I'll know next time! Proper loo paper is designed to break up in water quite quickly to avoid sewer blockages, anything else will be more resilient up to the extreme of the older type of wet wipes ...

The gas can would be cooling as the gas is used

Stoves where the heat is in direct contact with the ground are the issue, it's a matter of being sensible, disposable barbecue and glass bottles are the main issues out

There are plenty of solutions to power generation which could be spread across the country, increasing generating resilience and massively reducing transmission distance, losses, costs and environmental impact. The bunch of muppets in Westminster are too stupid to push something like that through t...

i think i need to look at other options Durston x dome 1+ It's noticeably more spacious and head room is higher than the microlight Could do a side by side pic. The microlight is an easier pitch but the x dome has a lot more usable space, mine is one of the first run and they reissued the poles, wi...

Are these any good?

I am after a pair and they seem to be ok for their measurements

looking for a foolproof way of setting my non tubeless wheels up tubeless. There isn't, it's a bit hit and miss. Also watch them for burping if the pressure drops. Taping depends on the tyre and rim interface so you may need a couple of attempts. Having a tubeless inflator helps a lot to get the ty...

The drive train that should be ok for a couple more rides.....

I would suggest lands end to John o'groats or visa versa Doesn't matter how you do it For a couple of years running I stayed in a youth hostel where a solo lady (same both times) passed through doing it (and then a few more miles joined by an aged parent) seemed like an annual pilgrimage for her Did...

am not after a rack. I like rough singletrack.

Just to highlight the aeroe rack does just fine on rough singletrack. Also means you can run a dropper unimpeded, which may aid when it gets steep

But more than one way to skin the cat

I think Ton may have rose tinted glasses on the space in the microlight, I am big but not Ton big and I find the inner comes in noticeably when using a thick mat, sitting height isn't amazing either

However it a joy to put up and rock solid

I would get a rack system

I use an aeroe spider panier rack and various bags

There are plenty others

Not sure £15 a night is wild camping

Would these survive a larger rider or implode under my fat ass?

I actually have Ton's old MacPac tent, used it on BB200 and the winter event

He's too big for what I have

I have something, how old / tall is the child

That's pretty funny, but some people must have a lot of time on their hands to make that

I think he'll be getting a return on his time invested

I like the gentle musings, philosophy and gentle fun

The action cinematography is better than most netflix films

Off topic but ....
