Re: Highlands
Hi DNF, you've done the hardest bit of the WHW so don't get disheartened even though the weather is horrible, no more pushing now on the WHW or GGW except The Devil's Staircase and even that doesn't take long. Keep it up matey. :)

A very happy man.
Bike related but not bivi related so I hope you don't mind. The 8 speed drivetrain on my revolution courier town bike was in desperate need of replacement as I hadn't replaced a thing on it in about 3 1/2 years, not even the chain. I did have some still servicable 9 speed parts from my MTB (which I ...

Both Restlessnatives and my poundland pillow as pictured above burst in use after being leant on, mine on the first time I used it! Even at a quid it's not worth it.

Re: MYOG 112.5g Cookset.
I have decided to make a new pot stand. This will get rid of the spacer for the burner but more importantly I can make the stand smaller as the pop can burner stands half the height of the trangia that the stand was built for, this in turn will lead to the height of the windshield being lower.
