I genuinely can’t believe people are clamping those to carbon frames.

My dad dropped off a copy of North Wales Pilgrim Way (as seen on TV), wanted to do a pilgrim for a long time and didn’t realise I had one on my doorstep

Think my dad is keen to do as day walks, so we’ll see as I’d prefer to do it in one go (or maybe two depending on time)

Finishes this Sunday, ran the length of Africa in less than a year

Impressive stuff

Thanks Ben, will look up the Polartec fabric and the 100wt. How many ... just one! : ) I'm not too worried about pack size as I generally have fairly small packed bags and can afford a bit more space, was interested to hear if there's a brand/material that does better than an average fleece on the ...

I get some stuff in a previous sale, softshell jacket and some windproof tights, so impressed with them I bought another pair of the tights

Both top and bottoms have lasted well, washed well and survived the odd crash too

Bikepacker - leaving your mug on the outside of luggage to collect sheep sub standard Tourer - leaves mug inside luggage :wink: Think it boils down to mentality for bikepacking rather than being defined by types of luggage/length of trip/bicycle etc etc Weird example and on a tangent but I trained f...

Not out yet and you’ve not mentioned a budget, but something like this?

Pitch forks at the ready

Might be worth sorucing a trek marlin frame in xs (this fits 650b as the other sizes are 29er).

Decent frames, should be plenty of them knocking about as they’re popular. Can also take a normal rear rack so that may be helpful to carry stuff in a longer ride

Those light weight chairs (copies) are on offer. £21 but has a 20% voucher if you tick a box https://www.amazon.co.uk/TREKOLOGY-Lightweight-Portable-YIZI-N1/dp/B0CRKQLXBX/ref=pb_pd_lutyp_ci_mcx_mr_typ_d_m_sccl_2/261-8572065-7242164?pd_rd_w=KyNIn&content-id=amzn1.sym.02977fde-3584-43cc-a440-78187...

Sean Yates ? I know Simon Yates - the rope cutter :lol: (Touching the Void made him "famous"). But Sean Yates? Before I look him up myself, ask a chatbot search engine, I'd prefer a Bearboner explain him to me... please? Thanks :YMHUG: I'm not surprised the Marin hoody threw you, it's &qu...

I did think that just before I posed (only because of the ear ring) but the Marin hoody completely threw me. Was initially thinking one of the repack lads from back in the day (again, due to the hoody) :oops: I'm not surprised the Marin hoody threw you, it's "Made in" !!! :lol: :wink: Tim...

Ermmm, don’t want to be that guy but I’m not great with faces nor names… :oops: Sean Yates I did think that just before I posed (only because of the ear ring) but the Marin hoody completely threw me.

Just ordered a pinion Broken Road with a Gates belt drive. Hoping it's ready for the WRT. Nice :-bd - - - Saw a Honda NSX today out on the roads, don’t see many of those about. Also, got a free pass on Sunday - so just trying to work out either a mountain day walking or heading to Anglesey beach cr...

Also tried the Altura rest bag but it’s just in the smaller side to what I need

Thanks for those suggestions. Maybe the idea of three mounts on the rear isn’t as good as I’m thinking it to be Is it not more metal bits to break Simon? I'm not getting stuff like that - looks a right faff to unstrap those bags - I'd just use a set of Ortleib front panniers on a normal rack That’s...

Is there anything similar to this

But cheaper?

ie rear rack but have three bolt mounting to take fork bags etc
