Re: Anyone own one of these stove/pot setups!?
What they say it's basic and cheap, sooty and smelly.
Its probably lighter than gas Personally if faff is not an issue I would use a meths stove before one of those. That said its fool proof to use but a packable wood burner would do the same job

Re: An interesting bikerafting route up in the Highlands
especially 6" is 15cm Looks like I am today's pendant it's not it's quite close hence 30cm is known as a "metric foot" when it isn't quite a foot. Km. I need to convert to metric ( it's the only one) to understand and I believe cyclists use them to pretend they went further :wink: .....

Re: FS: Wildcat & Straight Cut Bags + Harnesses
Smaller version is 3-6 and larger version n 5-10litre( could probably get bigger in than 10 l for large but thibk it would run the risk of excess sway if you did ( love mine fwiw but have the larger version and never tried smaller) I think it advises a tapered drybag but, I use theirs, so not 100l%....

Re: Bike Abuse, Am I bad?
That pretty much. Hose it down, in winter at the end, and lube chain.
I would not drive home from an event and then clean my bike ( unless something needed fixing) but I would have cleaned it before the event.

Ta seems a number of different ways into maps via profile ( or via navigation) but it's just not listed there.
Tried synching with Garmin but made no difference.( tubeless worked first time though)
