Re: Suggest a bivy bag?
Sorry. Should be light and versatile as the AK hunks XL but I don't want a Hunka. Should be cheap enough but not as cheap as the army issue gortex offering but just as strong :smile: Should be readily available and easily pacjable and decent for winter. I'm asking for too much right! Shaf, I've got...

Prescription riding glasses
Being the buffoon I am I've lost my riding glasses, they are the interchangeable lenses and the clip-in prescription insert type. Just wondering if anyone uses similar and could recommend any new ones? Price wise needs to be <£100 which rules out prescription Oakley's or similar. Cheers in advance.

Re: WRT and routes.
Sounds a good idea to me Stu, people who like the traditional event can still have their (type 2/3) fun whereas some of us who struggle with time etc./or are still relative newbies can have a few pointers and options to choose from.

Re: Buying from the states - taxes and fees
Yup, I received the goods last week. It was a hot tent from Pomoly. Just for something a bit different I fancy doing a bit of hot tenting in the winter weather. It'll be for car camping on very basic campsites. Just thinking that I don't want to be put off going on weekend trips if the weather is ab...

Hopefully as Stu says because it came from China that may have been a factor.
I guess I'll just be on tender hooks for a few weeks, I found one of those on-line calculators and it reckoned ~£60 which is close to what Whitestone said.
Ta,
