Thanks guys. Update, broken collarbone in 2 places so in a slingand bruising everywhere else, aching all over. Hospital deciding whether she can come home tonight. Just spoke to the guy who found her in the road and he didn't see her till the last minute so it could have been a lot worse. She was ve...

Be careful out there folks in the dark. Partner is currently in A&E after going out early this morning for a quick blast and hit a sizeable branch in the road resulting in suspected broken collar bone, pelvic and head injuries. She was probably travelling 25mph+ downhill and was found in the mid...

I use these and will get roughly 9 full refills for £7.50 https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15905412/gogas-winter-gas-butane-propane-mix-227g-pack-of-4-15905412/?istCompanyId=c2ec8a5d-93c1-4850-a97a-f4d89d7c99c8&istFeedId=2755fba0-7dfe-46a9-bfd0-09b37aed8b93&istItemId=wapipixai&istBid=t&g...

All the Ospreys will have buggered off back to Africa now i think. They usually leave by mid Sept. The Dyfi pair should be back mid to late april iirc. Watched Monty the male fishing behind the Cob a few years back a week after he'd arrived back.

Yes please Ton if still available

There is a tap at the rear of the church in Thursley, go round the left side. I was on empty so was a good find.
There is another 1 round the back of The Bustard Inn on Salisbury Plain which hasnt been a pub for 12years. Its now a church and charity. Tap is by the back door and they didnt mind

Intending to ride KAW this weekend, work allowing. Will test James's statement that it's a comfortable 2 day ride. This is a cracking route. If you keep moving 2days should be achievable. Starting off route at Calne we did 250miles 28hrs moving. Loads of bivi spots. Definitely a 29er route over a g...

Best wishes Dave. Really sorry to hear the news about mum.

Yep new cables for sure. Ive had this and spent ages faffing. Then sorted it in minutes with new inners and outers

Have a good ride Duncan im sure you'll do well
Id be interested in having a crack at the route sometime.

IIRC from the documentry the mechanic responsible for this near tragedy had trudged his way across the yard to a dimly lit shed, shoved his hand in a box of bolts and thought 'aah they look the same'!
Look at the investigation.

Ian, Im pretty sure thats the bird that me and mike saw a few years back at the bottom of the devils staircase. Big old bird close up

Argyll trail with a few extensions & a spin over to Mull maybe?? That would be 5-600+ miles. Definitely not dull!

I have a Swift with an alfine 11 and its ace. When I had it 3x9 it had toured in France, been across Spain with Duncan and round the Cairngorms etc. Brilliant bike. I have a set of rigid forks if anyone is interested in them to go with the OP's bike https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopi...

Is the fork for 26" or 700c? I believe it came in 2 different versions.

I had a 'pootle' round the route in perfect conditions in 2018 although it was bloody hot. Set off on the weds before the mass start and did it in 7days 7hours. Plan was to enjoy the route and see all the places i hadnt seen before so no night riding. I started at 9am the 1st day then it was 7-7.30 ...

Nicely done Duncan. Cracking trip and highly recommended

Normally wear my old shimano mw80s but went to put them on the other day and they've vanished no idea where they are so I'll need to get a new pair. (The pair in the classifieds are too big!). I'll have a look at those groundeffect

I've got a couple of pairs of woolie boolies that have been great but could do with replacing. Any suggestions?

Shimano mw7 (or mw700 as they are sometimes listed) last years model. Size 44. Brand new unworn. Cleats fitted but then removed. £90 posted.
