So I was out over the weekend on top if a big hill and found a nice flat area to camp. Up went the Mini Peak and out came the bivy bag. After just an hour of sitting on the bag I could feel damp coming through the bivy from the ground... then by morning after a pretty steady downpour, a lot of water...

Thanks. I'll drop you an email.

Are these still available Artie?

Thanks for that wingnut, much appreciated

Looks good wingnut! What's the floor made of, any idea? Also what's the weight ... eBay says 600, I'm assuming thats for the 2 person net? Cheers!

Hey wingnut, is that midge proof netting can you tell me ? Cheers

Thanks, will check it out

I've been using these for a couple of years now without any problems :

I also use some inner tube on the fork to improve the grip.

In black preferably. I know they're not expensive but just wondering if anyone has one going spare they want rid of before I start trawling the interweb.
Cheers

Brilliant, thanks a lot Ian!

Hi folks, I've just received an older version of this harness purchased off fleabay, but unfortunately it hasn't come with any fitting instructions. I don't suppose anyone has any they could forward onto me? If not I'll try and figure it out!!
Cheers

Lived in Ayrshire for 10 years. .. its ok I guess, affordable housing and good transport links. I've got Galloway Forest/hills and Arran on by doorstep with the highlands just a couple of hours away.

Thanks folks. . Zippy, I'll check that out.

I know a few folk on here acquired those gopro copies from amazon before Christmas, so just wondering how they've been performing on your trips? (I've read the thread on STW so just looking for fellow bikepacker thoughts?)

Cheers

It was the montane 'batpack' that I got from blacks at the weekend...however I've just looked on their site and can't find it anywhere so I guess it's sold out. Sorry!

Shame the Ti water bottle isn't bigger, maybe 750ml with a wider mouth. Could have doubled as a water bottle / cooking pot. That's exactly what I was thinking Stuart... I've been swithering over a Vargo BOT as a dual purpose water carrier/pot but it's pretty pricey, then when I saw this from Alpkit...

The montane is currently half price at Blacks, 40 down to 20 quid. I ordered one today online for store pick up in a few days.

Thanks Stuart!

Apparently there is a s/steel version of this... just not on this side of the Atlantic it seems!

Hi,
I really like the look of this Vargo bottle bot but frankly couldn't justify the £90 price tag.

I don't suppose anyone's seen an alu version anywhere?

Cheers

Tommid... any details on the tarp poles please? Thanks!

Just noticed... if you have Sky, it's on Extreme Sports channel 419 at 1pm today! !

(Followed by something called 'Lingerie Football League' which sounds interesting! )

Thanks voodoo, I'll check that out.

Looking for a medium, black fuel pod if anyone's has one they don't use anymore... Alpkit are out of stock at the mo..
thanks

Cheers Bryan!
