What a time by Aidan 8-) - averaging over 13km/h for that length of time.. Wow

Jack is still going strong too, after what looked like an overnight in a bothy in Glen Feshie. He was back on the trail before 0600 I think and looks to be going for a finish today!

Blimey - you go for your dinner and he's ridden down Glen Derry and Glen Lui and looks like he's turned right at the Linn of Dee. I'm interested to see how far he gets tonight? Ian, hope you are feeling a bit better now - I had a bad run of kiddy induced stuff before M'n'B and that ride was just kil...

Jack seems to be going great guns; past Loch Avon and into the Lairig an Laoigh.... as you say Ian, well past the 100km mark in 8.5 hours. How come you weren't riding this weekend, Ian? I know you'd mentioned loosing your mojo recently.... it must have got bad :( Would be good to have everyone with ...

Like that idea Ray - off to dismantle the multitool now - cheers!

Good luck Rob - have a great ride! Very jealous!

Just seen this Jack - might help.... you got some snow shoes for the climb after Glenmore Lodge to Loch Avon? Looks brilliant esp. if you get the cold air with sunshine too :D

Why didn't they just put the word "EPIC" on the side of the bag just to really stick the knife in and give it a good twist... bunch of $%£**s

Not as bad as SJ 075341

I noticed this one too Ian; put them on Memory Map last night and this one sticks out as a 'challenge'

Cheers Jack.... I'll be watching and good luck with the weather! Have a good trip

Good luck to everyone riding this weekend..... Looking forward to the photos and stories!
Looks like a better forecast with the wind dropping a bit; should help :)
Anyone carrying a Spot that we can watch?
Cheers, Mark

One on it's way - thanks for the feedback and info Stu... Hallo Mark, leider ist SMD etwas in Lieferverzug geraten. Da ich dir alles in einem Paket senden wollte, warte ich noch auf die Zelte. Angeblich wurden sie Anfang der Woche aus den USA versandt. Ich hoffe, dass ist o.k. für dich. Mit freundli...

Blimey - good price..... You made me panic there for a second Stu thinking I'd gone for the wrong alternative to the Akto (on it's way from Germany I think right now).
Looking at the weight of this it's similar to the Akto with bug net inner but this looks like a great price!

Done - potential for something a bit different.....

Hi Stu, have you given this a good field test yet.... any more feedback as I'm sorely tempted for the summer (when that day arrives in late May).
Thanks for the pointer on the pole too. I see something good/similar on the German site too.
Cheers. Mark

Happy Birthday Stu.... was this weeks one day of sunshine laid on specially to celebrate!

I know what you mean slugwash - some of the sea kayaking trips I've been on have involved really big tarps and stoves/BBQs/chairs and the occasional massive big driftwood fire (to be obliterated by the next big tide) and these have been some very special evenings. The joys of the water and tides bea...

I also had a big hammer

The full tool kit used - bonus! :)

Cheers for that - looks lovely.... missed the link, distracted by your panoramas

Yes - please can I put first dibs on your Mukluk!

Gairy - sounds like the Dovey Enduro but bugger me the scenery is somewhat better! Did you link to your video yet and i missed it? Look like a great trip!

DNF - what a bugger! Hope you are OK and the damage isn't too bad.... healing vibes! I was expecting the same this afternoon on a road ride but I was very surprised by everyone's patience and politeness except some nobbers in a 4x4 (a bit close but not as near as your encounter by the sounds of thin...

Thanks for that Stu - sorely tempted by one from the German site and looking around it seems to be pretty durable.... some guy in the States seems to almost live in his permanently. I like the concept - I have been using an Akto with the completely mesh inner... outer open in anything other than rai...

bugger - too late!

Second that!

Cheers Stu - did this come from that German lightweight gear site you linked to a few months back rather than sourced direct from the good ol' US of A?

you're like the Donald Trump of the tarp world

?Imelda Marcos? :)
