No worries on hassling. At the moment, we dont really have the numbers.

Thursday night is the best I can do.

Wednesday evening ride anyone? I have never ridden across the newly opened froggat / burbage edges.. so fancy a start somewhere to suit. Can someone suggest a start point? and a 2 hour ride? If not, I'll make something up and update here no worries. If we could start a little earlier, great, if not ...

It was yesterday though, today there will be no riding.
A rescue technique refresher in the pool for scuba though

Theres new tents on there too (I think they're new) including a <1300g 2 man tent.

Not really a bikepacking shelter but would be great for touring maybe

technically yesterdays ride. It was pretty snowy over my side of the hills, and therefore very slow going. Stunning though http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee320/davekane101/Mobile%20Uploads/20150118_103004_zps1hzp11ci.jpg My hike a bike speed was letting me down, possibly partially due the snow t...

The set I order a while ago was cheap as chips and had all full bearings and seals included

Blue. Brand new unused but no packaging

11 quid posted.

Twas the postie but a vist to keep pedalling for a 3" tyre for the from of the el Mar was nice.

Rich even popped it on for me with his shine new compressor to save me sweating and swearing in the garage getting it up tubeless.

Top stuff as always

Also. Cheap kits including seals from here

They don't last for ever but seem ok so far

Simply bearings offer most, from skf level good to cheap as chips

A book on the basics then practice on an area you know. Take the map out and spend a bit of time recognising features and landmarks.
Then it's just practice

Tad hot though!

Cooler in Ladakh

Stunning stuff up there

I have the odd map and guide for Ladakh from a trip a few years ago. Its blooming lovely up there. It can be remote although there's opportunities for resupply.

Mine is a Borah gear.

I'm not a PORG, but not a giant either 5ft 11in

Bars as an upright yes. Its never quite as high as I want though. I just roll in the side. Not so much fun in the wet.

I just got a 2.35 Evo, tubeless ready, snakeskin, Racing ralph. It has silly long name but went tubeless easier than any other tyre I've ever tried. It was on a 35mm rim too. Seems fast (maybe not as fast as a race king. twas on sale for £23 too Also, specialized work well for me, generally speaking...

Both nice looking set ups. My tarp dosnt have any tie outs in the middle of the body like those. It only has 8 around the edges. Also, I dont have poles as always tried to stay minimal (I know they're light) as such end up with this http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee320/davekane101/B5B4C158-0ED7-...

Whilst I've been browsing looking at various tarps and tarp tents and what not I've seen quite a few immersion ways of setting tarps up along with a few nice looking shaped ones too. So.
