No worries,thanks for looking guys. Think Zippys idea might be the way to go.

Guys I'm in need of a 185mm front post to post brake adaptor for a new build if anyone has 1 lying around. Probably be an Avid or Hayes. Cheers

Good effort chaps. Count me in for the next 1

Cracking 2 days mate. It wore me out!

Etrex 20 here.never come off the mount,still use a lanyard though just incase! Easily get 30hrs plus on a decent pair of batteries. Perfect for just following a route. Screen can be a little slow sometimes if you want to pan around to see where the hell you are, but that's ok for a quick rest!

Definitely up for another trip Duncan. I'm easy on dates will just have to do some leave juggling like last year when I booked the flights but hadn't actually got the time off!

SolarStorm jobby on the bars that I've had a few years with a quality 8cell battery and a recently acquired fluxient u2mini on the helmet that I'm very impressed with(3hrs on high),plus I can carry a spare 18650 if needed for multi-day stuff.. all cheap and cheerful compared to some stuff out there ...

Medium SOLD. Large still available

Wow enjoyed that, looks a fab trip.

On my Deschutes Iv put a guy on the inside from the top of the pole to the rear middle peg. Nice and right it stops some of the flappiness!

Not sure if this has been done already but I've only just seen it. Worth a watch if you haven't already. https://vimeo.com/58201809 If you have watched it this is an update on him translated from French https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=5&hl=en&nv=1&rurl=translate...

Great write ups guys. Sounds like you all had a fab weekend. Couldn't make it this year unfortunately. Hopefully next year I'll be there suffering with everyone else

A junior hacksaw! Brilliant. Pure Muppetry I would have killed to have seen that and sweary Mr B. Did anyone video it?

Brilliant write up Dave,brought back some great memories with a big smile on my face. Would definitely rejoin the Conquistador's for another crack at the route! vaguely exciting trip.

New Rab Ascent here for £99

Whatever you do DON'T attempt the Heratige Trail between the Butt of Lewis and New Tolsta. It puts Stu's bog trotting to shame and the Tolsta end is known locally as The Bridge to Nowhere! Even the local vet got lost up there and had to be rescued

Just found these on Amazon and going to give the 110g size a go. Seems a good price for silnylon. The large size might also be good for a MYOG! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01E0TDH10/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1504558687&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=geertop&...

No elastic here and I stay covered

^^ also available on Sportpursuit for £100 or £120 for the hooded jacket. Mine has just been delivered

thanks all

Ye I found that but I can't figure out how to download it. Probably being a bit dim

Does anyone have a copy of this years route they could share please.im buggered if I can find it. Cheers
