That Mark Twain quote about frogs springs to mind...

I did a bit of thinking about this, and I'm not certain that the science holds, but how about...? We have a two duvets, 4.5 and 9 TOG rated. These can be poppered together to give a duvet with a rating of 13.5. If this is a valid way of working such things out, then if we can work out some way to co...

I love the comments: Really helpful! Utterly wrong!

If this thread was a cunningly disguised ploy to drive up sales of Tyvek and Permavent, then it's working! Mine arrived today, with an unexpected bonus in the parcel... Cheers Stu!

Not what I was expecting at all, but I liked that.

Happy to help with this, drop me a line with her address.
I hope she likes bad puns...

Dropped you a PM about the Tarn...

I think our posts crossed! Sounds good.

Is the route skinny bike friendly?
I'm a potential yes. Just need to check how much insulation I can wear/pack/carry.

I enjoyed that, and thought I'd quite fancy a go at something similar. Then the weather turned...
