With a bit of consideration, I’ll pass. Too much else on this month. Sorry.

Re: Ascent... by GPS (Edge 800)
If you made the assumption that it was a linear change over the time and you had the raw elevation record then it would be fairly easy to apply a time based correction to each value and then recalculate the total climb.
Seems a lot of hassle though.

Re: bikes on planes
Ryanair etc are fine if you understand what you are getting (a seat on a plane) and play by their rules. anything extra you pay for.
BA etc are also fine if you understand you are paying for a whole load of stuff you probably won't use.

Re: Recommendations for small camera
The best camera is the one you have with you.
I have an RX100. its great but more often than not I don't have it with me. 90% of the photos I take are on my phone.

I’m a sucker for a well designed tool and flush from a PPI payout I just ordered one of these off the back of the bikepacking review. Surprisingly reasonable $5 international postage too. https://www.bikerumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Wolf-Tooth-Components-master-link-combo-pliers-6-in-1-multi...

Re: Which rucksack ?
As for bike handling, our WRT2016 group hammered round most of Nant-Yr-Arian Summit trail with full gear on and I don't remember anyone not being able to satisfactorily "rail", "send", "nail", "smash", "carve", "clean", "gnarl" (...

Re: Which rucksack ?
Genuine question, why would you need a rucksack? I’ve found them to be horrible, sweaty and uncomfortable at best. Unless you foresee extensive bike carrying I’d rather pack it on the bike. I came to bikepacking through road touring and have gradually weaned myself away from the ‘what if’ items and...

Re: Another reason not to have a fire
I wonder if you can steal water?! I have a feeling that water in rivers etc belongs to the crown ... you can own 'the river' but you don't own the water in it. Might want to ask United Utilities about that :roll: they will have an extraction licence. there are long running arguments in the kayaking...
