A Wildcat Jones Tomcat bag and a pair of Salsa anything cages with straps from the classifieds.

An Exped Synmat HL LW mat from Trekkit

Thanks to all involved

Supposedly due to supply chain issues, the Environmental Agency are letting some water treatment plants but non-fully-treated effluent into rivers etc which is likely to cause more algae. Better get swimming sooner rather than later. The amount of raw sewage that has been entering our river systems...

Thanks for the info and links above. With my limited googling I’ve seen that some of the model names are slightly different to those listed on the exped website, am I right to assume the ‘7’ just refers to the thickness of the mat? One other question (that really can wait until I have better signal ...

Well as I missed out on Stu’s Alpkit tent in the classifieds my funds can now go to a new mat. Will have a good search for one when have better phone signal as currently in the wilds of the Shropshire hills

Yeah will want a wide version, even for my svelte frame the numo is bit too narrow

These last couple of nights have made me realise how important that is Stu, normally in colder months I just shrug it off and put it down to the conditions more so than my mat, wrong!

I like being cool when I sleep at home, even in the depths of winter I have my bedroom window at the very least cracked open (lightweight duvet and sleep in my unmentionables) However when I’m camping/bikepacking I always wake up feeling cold during the night (even last night) and have a crap nights...

Yes please, message on the way

You’ll have to hook up with (Postie) Rich to show you the best kipping spots

I hope Matt is riding it as we type

Alpkit repair other brands, maybe worth pinging them a message

Hmm interested, just wrong timing. I’m on holiday next week, let me see how much pocket money I have left at the end of it and if it’s still for sale I’ll take it. (I’m sure someone else will snap it up before then)

A tentative Dibbs please.

What kinda condition is it in? Have you shortened any of the straps?

Had the same issue using ESI grips, hated them and couldn’t understand the love for them, swapped to Ergon bio cork GC1’s and not looked back

Email said it didn’t include bikes

You can buy these for evening bivvy wear

Opposite for me, seeing far fewer insects, and I’ve only seen 6 wasps!

Certainly feels like autumn here. This morning at work mist lay low over the River Stour, smell of woodsmoke in the air, crows crowing, leaves falling, conkers on the ground, trees full of berries and a chill in the air

*swoons*


quite interested in those shoes, in black of course, if they did a waterproof version I’d be very interested

It’s been like it for nearly 18 months now. A perfect combination of vastly reduced supply and a huge demand spike. Covid mainly affecting supplies of raw materials, manufacturing and shipping. Can’t really blame Brexshit or Suez as the issue is worldwide, but they’ve certainly made the issue slight...

2018 was the best summer for years

Pace Tee and mug

Pair of Oakleys from vision express (see bargain thread) and a replacement power lead for my hair clippers I got last month, no idea where I’ve put the original lead, no doubt it’ll now turn up in the next day or so

Good idea, but as I use my frame bag for heavy bits, tools, tent pegs and poles etc I’d be worried about puncturing it.
