Exposure light with a diffuser on is all you need, Good camp light.

Really cool trip, 4 nights under the stars, great route and company and 2 beach rides to boot. Great spot on worms head last night even if the first cloud all week spoiled the sunset. Left Kev and rode back through Swansea to Afan, now chilling out before riding onto Cardiff tomorrow. Then just have...

Can't thank you enough for the timing of this Ian, has worked out well. :) chilling out in Llandudno today, been for a ride round worms head, weather is amazing and showsthe area to it's true beauty. Just stuffing my face pretrip now :) Looks like a great trip ahead of us with some clear sky's hopef...

Grabbed a minimus jacket, slightly dissapointed that I didn't read the small print and it's a 30 day delivery, :( oh well. if a sudden cold spell appears it will be my fault!

Great, like my MKettle but always smelling of bonfires, and I always end up filthy, can be a pain as you said. :x Never owned or used a meths stove, would any of the simple home made ones work in this case do you think.

Thanks Mark that sounds like a plan, I have more time after the trip than before.

Would like to have the tracklogs files too, if possible. If you'd like any of my C2C route ideas i can provide them.

Hi Ian, really interested in joining you if you don't mind a complete stranger. I've ridden Cardiff to Conway almost all off road before and this sounds like a great return adventure.
I'd just need to decide which end of the country I leave my van if you'll have me :D

Need some warm wear, they look super light jackets, anyone have one?
Does that mean their sale starts at 00:00 on the 20th

Oweer it's a race is it, better have a serious re-think then otherwise all the food will be gone on Sunday :(

Cant you just link the bear logo to the main site, at present it goes back to the forum index.

The meusli with milk power in is a great idea. A bag of Trail mix in your own style is always a favourite, go to Holland and Barret and get some big bags of calorie laden nuts, Brazils, Walnuts, add some fruit, Haribo, M&M's it's your choice. On the dehyrated meals front, they are ideal but expe...

Funnily enough I was planning on checking out the same option this coming weekend as a makeshift cover, guess I'll have to adopt your name of 'Fastfly now ;) , How much per gram is it worth?

Hi Paul
Is this still up for grabs, is it singlespeed only or geared?
