Re: They have finally arrived

Re: Proposed Wind Farm near Glaslyn
I'm afraid the plants and animals will have to go How do you see that working out for your children and grandchildren? This has been taken out of context. If you read the whole paragraph it should be clear that I'm referring to the plants and animals that will be displaced by the wind farms not eve...

Re: What are you reading now?
Stewart quotes from 'A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush' by Eric Newby in that book, which I highly recommend - not just an insight in Afghanistan but also the world in the 1950's. Another classic of travel writing. I have it somewhere - another one I've read, know I enjoyed, but couldn't tell you a si...

Re: What are you reading now?
Just started two books I picked up from the library: Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the dark . Thanks for the recommendation faustus. I'm only one chapter in, but already hooked. The Curtain and The Wall: A modern journey along Europe's cold war border by Timothy Phillips, which I found by coincidence on ...

Re: Recommend me a decent stills camera
I need to think how i'm going to process pictures, so any insight into how others use their camera photos would also be useful. I only have a work laptop now, which I can't plug anything into and I don't own, and it has many admin restrictions in place. I don't enjoy 'processing' photos very much a...

Re: Massive top tube bag
Looks great!
I've not got a rotary cutter, but may well try one - the cutting out bit takes a lot more time than you think.

Re: Recommend me a decent stills camera
Re. old lenses, I liked the idea that I could use some of my old Pentax lenses on an inexpensive M4/3 adapter, since my previous camera was a Pentax dSLR - in fact the main reason I bought into the Pentax system. But in reality, I rarely use them. The light weight and bulk of the modern M4/3 lenses ...

Re: Recommend me a decent stills camera
Just to provide one experience... I've got an Olympus M4/3 mirrorless (E-M10 MK3) which I've been very happy with - probably 4 or 5 years old now. It, or a similar, newer model probably meets most of your spec: Useable manual focus Depends on the lens focus ring to an extent, but the focus peaking i...

I was in an orange jacket with a Kendal CC logo on the back. Should be asking on the WJ thread, but was it you riding with Jamie Hyppy? Moving conversation from the BAM thread: Nah, I rode solo.

Not to be confused with a Biffa, which most people would probably consider more than slightly iffy, though maybe not Reg.

Re: Tubeless question
I've used a few sets of the cheap Joe's branded valves off CRC/Wiggle. They're brass rather than aluminium and work as well as, or better, than any others I've used. Won't match your rims though, presumably. I prefer Gorilla tape to Tesa tape, but that's a personal thing. Always used Stan's because ...

Cairngorm John Wrote by a chap from a chap from caingorm mountain rescue. Quite an insight to the runnings of mountain rescue from day to day stuff to how they operate out on the hill. Fascinating reading especially some of the rescues, really is an eye opener and plenty of lessons can be learnt fr...

Re: Which chain lube?
I try not to, ahem, wax lyrical about it too much, but I'm a big fan of hot wax. I put a freshly waxed chain on before this weekend's winter Jennride and even after a pretty solid 48 hours of rain, fords and mud of all varieties, it was still running fairly smoothly. Previously used Putoline but cur...
