I have thought about that, next time I'm passing.
I've got an XL that could be the donor.

More waterproof than the usual Borah lightweight bags is more preferable as it might not be used with a tarp. Carinthia do one but its 300 euro's and the zip doesn't go down as far as I'd like. Mil-tec do pretty much what it wan't but it's bloody heavy, 1.3kg Must be muted colours too as I'm not a h...

I’ve got 3 bivi bags but I can’t stand the top entry, does my head in and was wondering if anybody’s found a large size bag with a side zip that goes from shoulder to knee?

I don't find it any lighter with any of my combo's of hammock/tarp Vs ground dwelling. Sadly most of the weirdos that I bikepack with are all for the floor so I don't get to use my hammock much in the BB events. When I have, it's been brilliant due to the comfort factor and finding a stand of trees ...

Suitable attire to meet royalty.

Thanks Andy

A wrap of old inner tube for the northerners among us.

91.6kg 14/1/22
91.8kg 23/1/22

Oops, 200g’s in the wrong direction. It’s been my daughters birthday this week and there’s been an abundance of chocolate in the house. Hopefully back on track next week.

£350 is a lot more sensible price.

3.3kg in under two weeks.
Driving between jobs I keep seeing bakery's and such like but I've managed to avoid them, that's probably my biggest weekness(and wine).

Hopefully I'll keep this up.

Reckon I could've dropped a full 2 kilos if it wasn't for Pleasant Valley Sunday, champagne, wine, cheese, chorizo and chocolate but happy with week one.

Mountain feed bag if I can please

Didn't manage December either as Spain wouldn't let the kids in. Hopefully later in the year.

Is under 80kg achievable in 12 month or is that too big an ask without a massive shift in lifestyle? Yeah, 15kg in a year is perfectly reasonable, that said, it depends on your definition of "massive shift in lifestyle". To lose a quarter of a kg a week (you'll likely lose more at the sta...

Looks like we're on similar paths!

How does this work? I'm 94.9kg on 3/1/22 It works just like that. Each week (or whenever) you post your updated weight and if you fancy posting your target weight then I can plot your progress along with others. And from there we just chat about all things health/fitness/density etc... I want to lo...

How does this work?

Had to look up Rapacity, great word.

£32 I have to give parcel farce for my mat.
Mat was £162 Inc postage so works out I'm still up as I'm seeing them for around £215 in the UK, just not as much saving as I'd hoped.

Since Brexit, this is the first time I've been charged for stuff from the EU.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but any tubes on here who voted for Brexshit, presume your realise the stupidity of your actions now ... There's a lot of tubes that vote for Scotland to leave the UK which is essentially the same thing. This isn't the right forum for an argument on politics though.

I've got a new exped mat (Germany) that parcel farce have decided to keep hold of, I'm awaiting a letter with my release fee in the post, I'll let you know when that arrives.

I walked up that way in the morning but couldn't see any crossing, obviously I didn't go high enough.
