Offa's Bike next week
Started this from my doorstep south to north a while ago but was stymied by lockdown. So planning to head off from Prestatyn with Stu's GPS for a leisurely meander home to Bristol. Any particular highlights I shouldn't miss on the way or just off route ? Also I might be getting off the train in Pres...

Re: my climashield apex 133 quilt
The parachute ripstop I bought is pretty silky, not crinkly. PM me for a sample if that helps.

Re: my climashield apex 133 quilt
This is filling me with all sorts of inspiration.. I think climashield might be a better place to start than diving into down, so to speak. (sorry not sorry for the puns) What would make good value inner and outer layers? I'm not after anything feather light or waterproof. The choices are bewilderi...

Re: How to keep your feet dry in the summer
Ex army goretex bootliners. I find that they fit inside normally sized SPD shoes. The best £7.50 I have spent, on my second pair in 10 years, and that is daily commuting too.

FOC : Now taken Challenge Gravel Grinder Wired Tyres 700c x 38
I ran these with Schwalbe gloop in the inner tubes. Worked amazing well as there were a few large thorns in the tyres and evidence of sealing! PM me with address for delivery. Hermes £4.99 or collect in Bristol https://i.postimg.cc/QCQ54Z8m/IMG-20200629-101432320.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4ygHh269/IM...

Pleased that this has just come through on a library reservation - another good book by Mike Parker (Map Addict) Just over the hill from BBHQ, many of us have probably cycled past the ox eye daisies outside Rhiw Goch on that 90 degree bend just before Tal-y-Wern.
