Recovery. As in the event i feel like im the last (sure was lonely at the Bridge of Balgie cafe) to recover. I have had some deep fatigue.The left cankle has now gone but im still eating like a horse and any long term ambitions of remaining svelt like have been crushed with too much cake. I feel lik...

worth checking trains if you're going solo - I got an Exeter to Euston then Caladonian sleeper to tyndrum return for £147 - booked 6 weeks ahead though. Barry Godin has got a nice scenic video on vimeo of the outer loop

Hello everyone. I've been using a rugged zendure battery for charging gps, headtorch etc. The battery itself charges off an sp dynamo via a cycle 2 charge - (as recommended by the community!) Whilst I'm really pleased with this set up the micro usb cable that charges the battery has failed twice, in...

Definitely book before - we took two bikes, a chariot trailer 6 ortleib panniers ( and a 3yr old) from Exeter to Portsmouth harbour with one change. My partner booked it; I was totally stressed out beforehand, but in reality it was fine including the return trip.

Anyone with experience of nordisk telemark 1p tent? Its a two skin tent under 900g. Set up in shop it looks good.

I hear the uk supplier of SMD lunar solo had 10 arrive today for them all to be sold immediately, quote: "they flew off the shelf"...No doubt proving their ultra-light characteristic. I missed mine, now have to wait a further 4 weeks

Ok, so ive sent the iharborot cache battery back. The USB port was way too flimsy and the power to the GPS kept cutting out bumping down the Teign valley on the edge of Dartmoor ( Not that you need a GPS to find your way down there). Today I received a more expensive Zendure A3 with two ports. The c...

Hope AM 70mm stem with 20 deg rise to fit to Jones bars, cycle2charge, PDW USB rear light (7 quid bargain on amazon) iharbort cache battery. And a bank statement.

In the past I had similar problems but caused by running - resulting in knee and really bad lower back pain. I had some good private osteopath treatment which relieved any spasm or sciatica and worked on breaking down the tightness in my thighs; but the big difference came from using superfeet insol...

Patagonia Nano Hoody - black. Revelate Jerry can - bent.

Sidetracked is worth a look - online and in hard copy 3x year with an emphasis on the written word as well as good photogrpahy. Great for contemplation in the thunderbox; its more about the Journey and Adventure rather than the nik-naks that help/encumber people on their way.

I haven't looked for it, but I wonder if Mountain Laurel Designs make one to go with their Supermid Nope ... but I believe there's a man in Wales who could make one. :wink: I have a Supermid, actually an earlier version, which I pitch with two carbon walking poles attached to each other. It's surpr...

Hi has anybody replaced the heavy wide dia. Easton pole on a go lite Shangri-La/ hex with a carbon pole or similar? I think the pole has to be 5'3". I am trying to strip down this tent to its possible lightest weight for use in open country. Any link or advice appreciated...

Im enjoying using la sportiva anakondas with inov8 debris gaiters (Poor man's version of your photo?) whilst on v12 flats - they've been working well thru the gloop on Dartmoor. Im going to add some seal skin socks to this combination.

Rich at keep pedalling built me some 29 wheels on dually rims with a sp pd8 dyno/LX hub and continental 2.4 tyres - all for an ogre with suspension. i love it all
