I totally agree Stu this trip was the start of my addiction - I blame you all!! you can see me on the right of the photo with the massive panniers :lol: How I have learnt the art of bikepacking this past 7 months - amazing. plus I have joined the 29er gang That winter bivvy was vaguely exciting, no-...

Nah I don't get scared I find the gentle hum of a banjo and squeeling pigs quite soothing!

In the UK really!

What is out there really too be scared of??

I like them too, used to use thrm back in the day, fitted them on my Swift and as Stu said I like moving my hands about on long trips. I would like some bars like the Jones H-bar but dont like thr price

Hunka for me but I'd like a Hunka XL as the Hunka is a tad small but as I bought the Hunka second hand I took a chance so I am after a Hunka XL if anyone can be seperated from their Hunka XL or fancy a swop for a standard Hunka???

Is that enough Hunka talk Stu

sounds like a great trip planned there Matt look forward to the pics and updates :D

What is better than sitting in the beautiful countryside we are so lucky to have, alone, or with friends and savouring the sights and sounds of the wildnerness that is still left...

Some really BIG tarps there too if anyone's looking for something to shelter a group.

maybe we could fit Steve under it this Winter if we get one???

I carry a leatherman squirt useful enough and not too heavy.

I did carry a Victorinox lock knife on the WRT in case of bears

Stu, it's a Portugese chicken restaurant chain, so common now there is one in Merthyr.

grilled chicken so a healthy choice can be achieved

ok that one was a bit lame

but you could do your bit picking it up as litter and converting it to a useful item

some great pics there Stu, you may tempt me to have a go yet :?

flibbedy gibbets that's harsh

I really like my Bontrager rythym seat,with ti rails got it off STW for a bargain.

It's on my Zesty but I need one for my Swift.

I always wear padded shorts and lube them up if on a long one

great link and as Ian says great you can read it free online - that's my new pastime sorted

I like the NZ frog rack anyone tried it?

I thought you may "moderate" that one

can't believe you two missed the obvious - drinks can = meths stove

dehydrated food packaging as a eating vessel - no washing up (thanks Tiger for this one)

Mobile phone - normal use - entertainment for flatfishy

same as Mr Fish date dependant I'll be up for it.

Steel it's the future - for big lads definately
