I have a couple of pairs of Madison Roam shorts that don't look out of place in the pub. They have a slight herringbone pattern. On the top I opt for a cotton mix or 'tech' fabric casual tee that looks civilian but doesn't hold sweat.

Underneath are hidden bib shorts...

Ooh yes pleas on the Patagonia and the Marmot. I'll message you!

I recently picked up a Garmin Edge 810 for £50. It's been really good, but it is the first bike GPS that I've had so i have no comparison.

This thread strikes a lot of chords with me. Riding / fitness / motivation has really tailed off since covid, especially as my main riding buddies are unable to ride any more. I was wondering if there was any scope for a regional BB get together once a month or something where we could get some dat...

Second dibs please if TeaFuelledMutantGingerBike finds it isn't a sensible size!

Thanks.

Just had a play with Openfietsmap. Looks like just what I was after. Even has picnic spots marked! Thanks.

Thanks Loki. I saw that version on the BBB site. I'll give it a go.

New disco slippers. Specialized Recon 1 in a dashing shade of burgundy. After 60 miles on flats on Sunday I've gone back to the dark side of SPDs. For non-bikepacking activities at least!

I've just picked up an ageing Garmin Edge 810 for navigation purposes. I really like it. I've uodated the maps on it using the https://extract.bbbike.org/garmin.html website and it seems to work fine, but as a total newbie to OSM maps I don't know if i have the best map? I downloaded the 'Garmin BBB...

I've always had good experiences with Banana Industries too. Seems to be quality kit.

Hi, I'm based in Farnham so not far from you. I've got a couple of adventures planned around the south east which is closer than Wales/Scotland! Drop me a msg if you want to come along to test out any kit.

Yes pleasr! I'll message you now.

UPDATE; had to pull out due to comparability issues! Still available I believe...

I'm in exactly the same situation but with my work iPhone 12 mini. Love the size but it's like going back to Android KitKat to use it!!

I've been trying to work out how to make one from a Snugpack Jungle Blanket. So far the project is still in the chin-scratching phase.

I already have a Spotify playlist....

Not amazing but one step up from my old retractable combination cable.

I use some Merrels. Sorry can't remember teh model as I bought them from ebay. The're lovely... feeling the air between my toes!

I use a little silver mince pie case to catch any spills and shield the stove from the ground. It works well.

Thanks all. I'll let you know how it goes.

One of the best. Made by your good self...

Experiment over. 20ml on a warmish day with no wind got 550ml hot but bot boiling. So i reckon 25-30ml for my set up.

Thanks, good logic! I should have probably thought of doing that myself!

I'll get my syringe out and experiment.

Top work Shaf. High end bodge that. I say keep for spares. I rarely throw anything and am regularly surprised that i have just the correct part in my big box of crap.

I use a BB 22g stove for overnighters and the occasional cheeky brew whilst working on site. As such I've never run out of meths and have no idea how much to take on a multi-day trip. I'm spending 4 nights in Scotland next month and i don't want to carry too much or too little. Over the trip i recko...
