Re: Scottish Winter Bivvy 9th/10th December
I'm hoping to clear the decks for this but up against dog duties, 'Dad's Party Bus' needs and a badminton match. For those who don't know the area around Greensykes, you'll probably pass Jamestown and the birthplace of Thomas Telford https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/t/thomastelford...

Re: Whats your trouser of choice?
I've been really impressed with RAB Crank pants. Expensive, but can't fault them. Not waterproof, but just did a long weekend in the Cairngorms with bib longs underneath. Very comfy on their own when warmer.

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
Edit: Think of the hammock as a U-shaped piece of fabric wrapped around you. The underquilt is a further 'U' wrapped around the outside of the hammock. The top-quilt is then like an 'n' on top of you. Yep, got it now. Sticking the ground, for the foreseeable though. canal bridge, another "firs...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
I've only just realised why they are called under quilts I wondered how they gave any warmth when you lay on them
Can you not just attach them to the underside of the hammock? I've probably still misunderstood.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Nukeproof bottom brackets - GXP @ £10 and DUB @ £15. I've found them pretty good and the bearings are easy to replace. The DUB at £15 is cheaper than the replacement bearings mind you.

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Fitted, and test ridden. Most likely threaded one of the bolts, as they appear to be made of cheese. Also looks like I need to service the clutch again after the repeated dunking on the BB200. https://media.bobarnott.com/gravel/2023-11-09-fitted.jpeg Is there still a hosepipe ban in place down your...

Re: Recommend me a GPS
Not the mounts you'd use with a Garmin bike gps - 500, 1000 etc. The erred mounts are larger and the device slides in, rather than twists.Can the walking ones be attached using the standard Garmin mounts?
