Re: Ascent... by GPS (Edge 800)

If you made the assumption that it was a linear change over the time and you had the raw elevation record then it would be fairly easy to apply a time based correction to each value and then recalculate the total climb.

Seems a lot of hassle though.

Re: bikes on planes

Ryanair etc are fine if you understand what you are getting (a seat on a plane) and play by their rules. anything extra you pay for.

BA etc are also fine if you understand you are paying for a whole load of stuff you probably won't use.

Re: Recommendations for small camera

The best camera is the one you have with you.

I have an RX100. its great but more often than not I don't have it with me. 90% of the photos I take are on my phone.

Tool lust...

I’m a sucker for a well designed tool and flush from a PPI payout I just ordered one of these off the back of the bikepacking review. Surprisingly reasonable $5 international postage too. https://www.bikerumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Wolf-Tooth-Components-master-link-combo-pliers-6-in-1-multi...

Re: Which rucksack ?

Genuine question, why would you need a rucksack? I’ve found them to be horrible, sweaty and uncomfortable at best. Unless you foresee extensive bike carrying I’d rather pack it on the bike. I came to bikepacking through road touring and have gradually weaned myself away from the ‘what if’ items and...

I wonder if you can steal water?! I have a feeling that water in rivers etc belongs to the crown ... you can own 'the river' but you don't own the water in it.
