Hi Shaf,

I'm Wirral based, when are you here? Happy to either send over a couple of GPXs or guided ride.

Cheers

Recieved today Stu, many thanks.

I struggled with insomnia for a while, like other people mentioned it was a vicious circle, couldn't sleep and then it was thinking about not sleeping that was keeping me awake. My personal problem was I was doing all the usual stuff ie remove telly out of bedroom, drop caffeine, look at diet and ex...

I'll take a pair please Stu, money incoming.

Cheers

and then bringing some (un)healthy competition to this claim!

You'll have to go a 'long way' to beat Mark

Ha, ha, ha... my reputation precedes me !!!!

Although that's definitely the sound of a gauntlet being thrown sir, challenge accepted!

Will be looking to bag my annual fewest GRs and least miles ridden claim !

I got some from Plan etX. I can post em, blue chromo lenses, white frames., clip in presc. insert, but no spare lenses.. £17 posted? an option .it'll get you going... Thanks for the offer ledburner but I'm sorted now. By the way, I had a look on the PX website, couldn't see any specs with prescript...

Being the buffoon I am I've lost my riding glasses, they are the interchangeable lenses and the clip-in prescription insert type. Just wondering if anyone uses similar and could recommend any new ones? Price wise needs to be <£100 which rules out prescription Oakley's or similar. Cheers in advance.

Cheers all, yes I had heard about the dangers of leaving the bung in.

Reckon it'll just stay in the boot of the car for post walk/ride brews.

Appreciate they aren't Bikepacking kit but someone in work gave me an old Kelly Kettle as a freebie. I'd never even heard of them before, think it'll come in handy to have in the car after walks or a paddle. Anyone got one or had one? Any tips or hints on usage or cleaning etc. muchly appreciated. S...

Sounds a good idea to me Stu, people who like the traditional event can still have their (type 2/3) fun whereas some of us who struggle with time etc./or are still relative newbies can have a few pointers and options to choose from.

Yup, I received the goods last week. It was a hot tent from Pomoly. Just for something a bit different I fancy doing a bit of hot tenting in the winter weather. It'll be for car camping on very basic campsites. Just thinking that I don't want to be put off going on weekend trips if the weather is ab...

Nice video mate, need to meet up for another paddle in the docks in the new year.

Cheers all, it was a tent from Pomoly

Hopefully as Stu says because it came from China that may have been a factor.

I guess I'll just be on tender hooks for a few weeks, I found one of those on-line calculators and it reckoned ~£60 which is close to what Whitestone said.

Ta,

Anyone know anything about buying stuff from the states? I bought a tent from a US company via their US website although it got shipped direct from China When it arrived I was expecting to be hit with duty/tax fees but I'm pleased to report nothing was asked for. 😁 How does it work? Cost of tent was...

Definitely need a BB snood... when I call in for my mid-ride/post-ride cafe stop it'll double as the required facemask.

Sold to the man with the paddle

My main plan is not to make any plans... for the past couple of years irrespective of Covid I've made plans for everything including completing Bikepacking events, walking and cycling challenges on my Garmin app, BAM and even losing weight etc. Next year I'm going to have a different approach of jus...

I use a combination of Komoot and Route Buddy. Komoot is very handy for plotting long routes very quickly, especially on roads (e.g. I planned my APN route in less than 20 mins, 1091km). I use Route Buddy for all my off-road stuff, having amassed a large library of routes over the years. I bought t...

Soon to be ex-ViewRanger user here as well

I've just found Komoot on the play store, seems similar anyone got any knowledge of it?

Cheers

Ha, pretty sure it's a medium but you've got me doubting... that's not a good start.

I'll have another look tomorrow.

Cheers for the heads up.

Hi Robbie,

Just messaged you regarding the Alpkit mat

Cheers

I used a std bike box to make it easier.

I'd cut it down. It'll likely make quite a difference to price.

Cheers Stu, I've already boxed it and agreed price with buyer. If I can be arsed I'll cut it down... but given my cba tolerance levels are quite low I doubt very much it will happen, ha!!
