I'm looking forward to "Santa" delivering a bunch of OS grid refs on Christmas Day.... :wink: I maybe wrong but I think "Santa" is delivering those GR`s down your chimney on Christmas eve! As for me, I`ve asked for 4 OS maps covering most of the Cairngorms and an Indian Motorcyc...

Early in the book the author describes having a "celebratory piss" when crossing the Divide, proper bloke!!

Hi Willow, I just use an old small chain combination lock, it takes up no space in my seat bag the main problem being finding it means unpacking everything! TBH I have more concerns of lights/GPS getting nicked when the bike is left outside a shop. To be fair though, I think a bike loaded with bags ...

As Chew says, it's probably just a numbers game. Maybe somewhere there's a post on a horse riding / hockey / netball forum entitled 'where are all the men?'[/quote] That about horse riding is spot on! My wife does amateur show jumping at riding club level (read , quite low jumps) and men are no wher...

Thanks Sean, looks like I`m buying myself a birthday present from Alpkit!

Hi, I like the look of these waterproof trousers, the reviews on the Alpkit website are mostly positive however none of the reviews relate to wearing them whilst cycling.
Does anyone have any experience of these as cycling specific over trousers?
Chees.

Crainlarch is a long way from the Isle of Wight Sean!

It looks a great ride, yet another adventure to add to my list! I`m going to have to live until I am 100 to do it all.

I read the other day of some one who`s wife who would cry whenever he rode his Harley, that can`t be be healthy. The tassles on his jacket poke her eyes when she's pillion? You know what I`m trying to say but are taking the pi$$. There`s nothing wrong with tassles in the right places (*) (*) :-bd

On radio 2 this week Jeremy Vine was discussing the disappearance then reappearance of Benedict Allen and asked those who traipse off on adventures how their family and loved ones coped with the separation, I know that a week in Scotland is hardly living with a tribe in Papua New Guinea (fewer canni...

I thought a man bun was required to be a`hip cat`! I`ve never been so glad to be half bald

please excuse me being thick, I have seen TLS mentioned quite a few times in posts and I`m sure it is implying lightness and minimalism but what do the initials actually mean?

I had to Google it to find out what is was.
Party on dude!

Never seen a Lynx in the wild but years ago I saw a wild cat of some description over the Abergwesyn road and while out shooting around Llanddewi Brefi I saw a very large black 'cat' walking along a hedgeline. Safe to say I made a very cautious retreat. https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/muffintop_pri...

Other than that I think Stu is right - I am the only nutter in the woods.....

On any given WRT weekend, how many nutters can "the woods" harbour?

Stop moaning and just fricken ride it as an adventure! over analysis and spreadsheets and that sort of nonsence just sucks all of the fun out of any kind of sponteneity . Not knowing what`s around the corner makes for a proper bikepacking ride. If you don`t want any surprises go around a your local ...
