Hi Rich
I've some 'funn full on' risers spare - 30mm rise by the looks and 785 wide. Usual sweep - probably 11 degree back sweep and 5 degree up sweep I'd say. Any use?
Cheers
Phil

Re: What is ádventure?
Adventure requires an element of the unknown, there are no guarantees. Wanna climb the Eiger N Face with me this summer? I got some spare gear and the route looks easy to get started on. Adventure guaranteed! Something about adventure being a lack of planning.. :) But yeah.. pre-packaged adventure ...

Re: Lael Wilcox off round the world
Lael herself comments at one point how a number of countries are off limits to her as an American..... Any student of history over the last 60 years would have no trouble understanding why that might be the case. Oh well, if she just is promoting it as a bike ride, seeing lots of different places an...

Seems to be trying to do as many miles in Europe and the States as possible, given that the former USSR is off limits. Also happy to bag plenty of alpine passes....

I'm fairly relaxed about this one - anytime you venture away from the built environment under your own steam anything might happen = adventure.

Some quality bivvies this month, well done all :-bd Neil, glad you found the ideal shelter. 'A' pitches get a lot of love on here as they are quick and simple and are a bit more resistant to wind and rain blustering about. I think there are a couple of poles on the classified at the mo. I bought a F...

Re: Wildlife
Spot of big game hunting for me today.... I'd noted the patter of little feet (and a smattering of droppings) in the kitchen of late, so pulled out the humane trap but decided not to bait it last night as I wouldn't have time to deal with a distressed mouse this morning. In any case it's been 100% u...

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Got it out of the garage for the first time in a month and dug around the garage in prep for the WRT. It looks like we have a mouse because it’s eaten a hole in my wildcat drybag which happened to be in an open box with some energy bars that have also all been nibbled. Little bleeders, twice I've h...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Enjoyed that Phil. Would be a bit un-nerving coming across those mannequins in the dark though, especially after a few beers. "Greetings madam. May I interest you in an evening of fun and frolics?". As I approached, the first thing I saw was a tumbledown shed which I instantly pegged as a...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
April... Still no Cairngorm trip as it was looking like winter would be having another go up there. So instead I went with another tour of the fair Kingdom of Fife. Last August I did the southern bit of the coastal path out (well about half of it) and an inland route back. This time I went with the ...

Re: West highland 550
I have 4 days in early May, so planning to 'enthusiastically tour' the Western portion from Fort William to Tarbet. I only really know the bit around Dunoon, from the Dirt Dash, and some very midgey camping on Ardnamurchan, so keen to explore. Though if the weather looks great, I'm going hill walki...

Re: Radar/Camera/Rear light
I was eyeing up the specs of the Garmin light, and reading the blurb. I get what they are trying to do but my considerable experience is that people squeeze past you too close because they are dicks, not because they haven't seen you. Being warned of this doesn't really add any value as there is typ...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Cheery enough - contemplating my April BAM, and thinking a wander round Fife is probably a better bet than heading up to the Cairngorms as it's looking a bit wintery up there this weekend - ironic given the drookit winter we've had. Hopefully a less dull BAM than last month! In the meantime, I'm hav...

Probably do-able on a gravel bike... Is it just Corrieyairack you're uncertain about regarding tyre width? I find the hairpins hard going no matter the width of the tyres. I've never been out West into Ardnamurchan or the peninsulas, I am interested in going. But there is a lot of road (but actuall...

West highland 550
I developed this route a while back and it was 500 miles starting at Tyndrum. I've now re-jigged it to start at Balloch (good and regular train service from Glasgow) and added in a bit around Argyll to miss out the Trunk road schlep round Loch Fyne the 500 route used (hence it now being 550 miles). ...

Re: Wildlife
Isn't it a bit early compared to a normal year ? I thought that. Now trying to identify a bird that's taken to visiting - about the size of a Great tit but with a big white chest and black head. Coal tit? First swallow earlier, loads of skylarks and a selection of small birds of prey. Of more inter...
