No harm done!
I thought the same when I pulled out my summer bike shoes today to wear and they were covered in mud Would have be been to have cleaned them at some point in the last three months or so

Re: Wildlife
Don’t think trees come quite under wildlife but ventured out today to see an old tree… Question is (I’m either being daft or over thinking it) does it mean the tree is 3500 years old or I’m reading it as it’s a cut off from an older tree, planted there and taken well Think it's just that someone to...

BeSpoked 2024 - Manchester
Just saw BeSpoked is going to Manchester in June ‘24
Always fancied it but never fancied Bristol or London for a day out
Hopefully I’ll be able to keep one of those days free to see it
More details here

There’s some Scandinavian spruce trees that are nearly 10000 years old - I think they’re all a bit trigger’s broom though since just like yew trees they produce a new trunk when one dies off This I didn’t know, I’ll have to look into this trunk thing now :-bd Says parent tree is that old so presuma...

Much more comfortable than the Alpkit bag (only downside is the rab bag is missing a midge net) How is a bivvy bag more comfortable? :wink: You may find the RAB is somewhat more 'snug' than the Hunka XL, not much chance of getting a mat inside in my experience - or at least not an air mat. I have t...

Used mine in snow, rain and survived the night Much more comfortable than the Alpkit bag (only downside is the rab bag is missing a midge net)

Love owls, think they’re really cute
My daughters favourite teddy is based on that very type of owl you have Stu. She’s owl obsessed, like Bearlegged, she’s done falconry with owls. She also loved the picture!

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Maybe there’s still the same amount of people using tarps but there’s so many people ‘bikepacking’* now, it feels everyone is using a tent/hotel etc instead
*this needs a different thread but I’ve noticed a definite shift in what I would have called a bikepacking setup from ten years ago to now

Re: Exposure Joystuck
Might be worth questioning the IP rating? Really not my forte in that side of things
Although I am a user of exposure, it does put me off a brand that has ‘excellent customer service’ and is well
known for it too. If the product is good, then how do people know this?
