Re: What are you listening to now?
I was listening to the cricket until recently. It's over now though :-bd Arf! Cricket on t'wireless is great. Especially if you switch on part way through when it can be anything up to an hour before you can hear any sound or voice at all. Even then it'd probably just be something like a murmured &...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Dunno. Probably fairly hefty. I shall try and remember to check when they arrive. TBH they're intended for Today's Ride or walking etc. For bikepacking no doubt I'd just suffer without as usual.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Yes I was intrigued by that too. The old duffers in the HoL need them because they're so ancient I guess.
Anyway they can add BBB to the list now as well! (to the list of users not the list of old duffers...)

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Not sure these qualify as a "bargain" as per thread title, but I needed some thermals and bought them from this place. Made in Britain, amazingly perhaps, so I think £15 leggings & £17 tops is a bargain in that context.

Re: Today's Run
lovely crunchy surface, not too hard either, like running on pastry :grin: You're a better pastry chef than me then Sean! Actually I'm not that bad, but recently my shortcrust hasn't been cooking properly inside. Tried blind baking first etc but can't seem to rectify it. Maybe the oven's bu88ered.

Re: 13l front bag options
Note that AK didn't supply the special strap slot widening tubes, I had to make those from a milk bottle (gonna stop having those plakky milkbottles soon so need to stash a few away). They add 0.5g to the weight but work superbly - much easier to feed the straps through in a hurry.

Sorry, couldn't resist another advert for RegPak(TM) Front Luggage System(*) - harness 10g, S2S straps 18g, 10L drybag 61g, total 89g (**): (*) "System" might be pushing it a bit far TBH. (**) mudguard not included. A few quid from any Halfords. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50922309...

Re: 13l front bag options
No we don't use harnesses at all And I thought it was just me. Good for you :smile: . Have you tried contacting AK? When I needed a new front bag I requested a 10L custom one made from LS07. Only weighs 60g, plus the S2S lightweight straps round the bars. PS. March? Can't you just use some binliner...

Re: Todays walk
If I'm going to have a walk anywhere I like to make it a productive one if I can. So today: through the town, down the canal, round the old railway - and guerilla-planted the rest of the acorns that I haven't already potted up. 42 of them, all sprouting already. If just one of them makes the 1000 ye...

Don't you just press and hold on the link then a menu offers 'open in new tab' or 'open in new window'? Works on this box of tricks in my hand anyroad. Presumably a right click does same on desk/laptop?

Re: Iceland from the East to the West?
It does feel like a decadent sort of bath with amazing views. All you need is a cocktail on a floating tray. I remember at Myvatn there was an underground hot spring called Grjotagja that you could climb down into and swim around the deep pools and passages. I think it became too hot some while afte...
