I look in from time to time (as you do ) and have not noticed a problem with images whilst browsing over the last 12 months or so [on a lap top rather than smartphone].

At least, it is cycling as I understand it, for my conception of the pastime includes much besides main roads and secondary roads and much beyond the propelling of a bicycle. And, though I am almost a "one-pastime man", I fling wide the boundaries of that pastime and include whatever is i...

I actually mentioned to someone the other day that the WRT would probably be much more popular if you removed the planning / navigation element and just handed out gpx files for people to follow ... maybe there should be two options? Interesting point Stu. IMO one of the probable reasons for lack o...

Yes, all the very best to you all for the new year.
For whatever reason you carry your sleeping roll on your bike, may all your trips be memorable ones

They do seem similar. The AK one has more weight of down but not such high insulation quality down. It also has harder wearing material. That is why it is half as heavy again for a similar temperature rating. The MH one is lighter weight, has higher quality down (though less of it) and is more packa...

There has to be a balance between enjoying the great outdoors and being party to destroying that very same thing. We are all guilty of doing things that can potentially damage the very thing we mentally wish to protect even though we are more aware of LNT than many. Every time we share a trail with ...

Like Bob says, BH weekends are a premium and will always be the busiest in the events calendar to accommodate the extra day(s). I remember in the early days of WRT wanting to do it but being committed to doing the Dyfi Enduro with a regular gang - that was in the days when you got an invite to the D...

Agree with Stu, that looks a good buy at that price. Handled with care it should give a lot of fun nights out.

Is there a Jennride cotswolds edition later in the year?

Sunday 6th January! Not exactly later in the year...

Depends how quickly you're moving. If it's a multi-day not against the clock, take boots and socks off to cross rivers then dry feet before re-booting. OK, means carrying a pat-towel and maybe even a pair of jandals but they pack easily and don't weigh a huge amount. Bit of a pain if you're crossing...

Yes. Fireroad/stoney track, all rideable, interesting ford at NyM end, nice spot for a brew. Lovely part of the world

:-bd "Neuadd Arms Hotel" - last concert of the late great Lord Sutch. Still trying to pluck up courage to enter the MTB Bog Snorkelling Championships. Anybody had a go?! Never done the bog snorkelling but am the veteran of many a Real Ale Wobble back in the days when I used to imbibe - bl...

Shamelessly pinched from a post on STW: Exposure Lights from Millets ebay shop, discounted prices less additional 15% discount on checkout plus extra 10% with PINCHMR code/voucher. nicnag Member Just as a bit of a heads up it looks as though millet’s outdoor have a discount of 15% off £60 at the mom...

As I posted in Stuart(bbn)'s thread, same applies to you hardy people:

Respect to all those that took part in the Winter Bivvies; conditions were not ideal

Surely that should be Wetside story!

Respect to all those that took part in the Winter Bivvies; conditions were not ideal

Very illuminating, sounds like a bright start to the day...

It's one of those bright, crispy mornings here. Good frost, sun shining, day off work. Boots and Lowe Mountain Cap are in the van ready, off for a walk up The Skirrid now then a cuppa at The Golden Kettle. No bikes involved.

After trying a pair of Crane Creek ends this afternoon, I can confirm that while it nearly works, there's just a bit too much backsweep. Could really do with some ends that are angled in slightly towards the centre. I often ride with my palms resting on the tips of the bar, so thought it'd be worth...

...the thing I like about a Bivi bag is when you've dossed down somewhere close to civilization it takes a lot more for you to be seen by anyone from a distance away than it does with a tent so in reality your less likely to get murdered :-bd I know someone who was run over in a bivvy bag once! It ...

oooh I'm an artisan tarpist now am I :smile:. "made in a traditional or non-mechanized way using high-quality ingredients". Indeed. I was thinking more " An artisan is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand that may be functional... ", for example, someone wi...

If you want to save even more weight ... just use a bivvy bag and stop being an artisan

Coincidence - I actually picked up a card for your Mum yesterday Dave!

Your post on another thread makes more sense now Dave having read your post on this thread. Thoughts with you.
