Erm, i'll have you know that my arrival time at Staveley had no bearing what so ever on our late arrival for dinner! :grin: Seriously though Ben, i knew you had a long day travelling with the family etc so didn't want you to feel pressurised to get there at a certain 'must do' time, we had nearly al...

Thanks Whitstone

I forgot to add- i've got an Exped Synmat UL which i never felt was lacking, would like a Downmat UL, but thought i'd look at a bag first..

I don't think I have a dog lead long enough to keep tabs on Jase Stu, he was 'Supposed' to be coming on a ride earlier today, gawd knows where he ended up after his night out round Liverpool :lol: After braving the weather in the Lakes when riding on sat i didn't feel too guilty missing this mornin...

I've been tempted by a Minim 500 in the PHD sale, It says -10 rating, but is this the comfort, lower limit or extreme value?? Do the more enlightened of you who know me think i'll fit in a standard length & width bag ok? (i'm 6ft) If i'm going for a zip, is a short zip ok or should i go for a fu...

I've had a few growlers in the past, definitely type 2 sort of fun though

Some potential bargains over the next week willing to travel here-

For reference the Mount Skidmore ones are about 5mm thick..

Decent grub in the Stubbings!

Might be able to make this

Well done Dave & Andy, looks like a great trip!

I've had the same problem with a diablo, wouldn't scroll through the PGM setting modes. I just used it & ran the batt down a bit, then after a re-charge it was ok again. Had a similar thing with a maxx-d. Turned itself off during a ride once & wouldn't turn back on, after a re-charge was ok ...

Looks ace Paul, looking forward to hearing about how it rides

Would have been up for this but north of the border at the weekend..

Oopps, sorry my bad!

Did someone mention whiskey??

I thought Carbon Monkey from this parish was renting some Exposure lights out, but it doesn't look like they're on his site anymore..

Mike as mentioned give Cotic a ring, they're good to deal with, don't ring of a Thurs though cause i think they're usually busy getting the weeks outgoing orders ready for dispatch.. When i got my Soul going off their size guide i'm bang in between a medium & large but they advised me to get a l...

I think you may need to include stuff like this in your book & add a glossary of terms Stu

That's the dreaded Stans Thunder Clap Money Shot..

Shagged a brand new Ardent a couple of months ago using this very same method..

I've got an Edge 500 & an Oregon.. I always clear the activities folder before uploading & riding a long route. It's also good to compare the two devices when one, or both of them decide to have 'a moment'.. The 500 breadcrum trail is also much easier to follow in the day as long as the trai...

I agree with Stu, think it's all about promoting her book..

Oi! Zip it Phil..

There's no gpx on the e-doormat of chez Wotsit!

Stu could you resend plse

I would just like to say to anyone who's starting to worry - DON'T. One of the things that will influence whether or not you make it round, is the state of your head at the start. If you're already having doubts and worries, then you're talking yourself out of a finish. Think you're going to do it,...

Just seen the BBC forecast for next week and it looks to be going downhill from Monday. Next weekend may see the tail end of this hit the UK http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-hurricane-joaquin-atlantic-east-coast-2015 You're not even doing the event Mr Doom & Gloom!! ;)
