Re: Bivvy a month 2022
Do I need to post here all my BAMs to get a badge? I hope not as I have just sent Stuart my 3.50!! But 2022 was the first year I have managed all 12. It did involve a few local bivvys for local riders and December was a real close call thanks to covid. Managed to start 2023 in good style with a camp...

Maybe I have a different (lost) login for the shop.

Help, I'm trying to spend money on the bb shop.
So I have a login that I can clearly get to the forum on. fatbikerbill
I am logging in using my login name instead of email.
That account has an associated email address.
Problem #1 I can not log into the forum with the associated email address.
Problem #2 I can not log into the shop with either.

Re: What lights?
Another shout for exposure.
I went all out for the 6pack. Not for the lumens which are mad, but I use it also as a powerbank.
So run it on lower power and charge phone from the light.
That worked a treat up in Scotland earlier this year.

Busy surfing here,
Any thoughts on the sea to summit sp3 https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/spa ... eping-bag/
The one downside I see is the zip, lightweight and only 3/4

Re: Seat Pack advice please
https://aeroe.com/ I have no idea if they are any good, but one of the pics shows bags side loaded on the rear.
But personally I'd look at two fork mounted bags, see PX, then a frame bag of sorts, stem cells, and a bar bag. I then use a bum bag such as the cheapy decathlon one if I am overflowing.

Helinox or oex chairs
So I was wondering...
You can get the helinox chair for about £125 & 509g
Or you can get the oex version for £40 and 1250 g
Has anyone tried making or using bespoke carbon poles with the oex?
And if so what did it cost and what was the final weight?

They will probably used as slippers at home as well , especially if the heating get's disabled. The ones that come up in my feeds are the rab hut sliippers https://rab.equipment/uk/down-hut-slipper & the much cheaper Nordisk https://www.tiso.com/tiso-nord-1124161/nordisk-mos-down-shoe-red-tiso-n...

What bike were you on?
I suspect it's a ride where whichever bike you take, half the ride will be great and half will be wishing you were on the other.
The split being roughly east ==gravel, west==mtb.

Re: What's the default GPS recommendation nowadays?
I'm curious why you say touch screen is essential. I ask as I have an 830, touch screen. It's great as long as it does not rain and you don't want to change screens when it is raining. If it is raining you have to have the screen locked on the screen of your choice. Apparently it does still rain, we...

Mike, Where's that. I'd love to see a see eagle. We're up near gleneagles at the moment (not for golf) . Loads of swuftyswallows and dippers on the river. Never seen so many dippers. Saw a red squirrel yesterday, ran out right in front of the dog. She was as excited as me. A few midges but fortunate...

Bizarrely, to actually answer your question, it is actually illegal to walk a bike on a footpath.
But, sod that, I'm with you.
