Re: Lakeland 200 ITT

Might get one of those Restrap carry harness things for those two big HAB sections. I wouldn't bother with the strap on Boab - the carries aren't long e...

Re: Recommend me a GPS

Can the walking ones be attached using the standard Garmin mounts?
Not the mounts you'd use with a Garmin bike gps - 500, 1000 etc. The erred mounts are larger and the device slides in, rather than twists.

Quite like a Diplomatico. Had a nice Plantation one that had Pineapple tree bark in it at some point. Would recommend. Generally I'd avoid the spiced stuff.

Merlin have got some very good prices on a number of things at the moment, including new FF29 frames at £399, TRP Slate and Slate Evo brakes for £70-£90 (F&R set!), but this Deore 12 spd boost crankset looks very good value, 170 and 175mm options, 32 tooth £37: https://www.merlincycles.com/shim...

Nice trip report, Andy. Looks like a fantastic trip The exposure in the pic on day 4 would have me absolutely bricking myself riding my bike. I could walk that no problem, but I wouldn't be thrilled on a bike. It's like a very high stakes boardwalk! You should have seen some of the stuff in Provenc...

Re: Riding the Gr5 (ish), Montreux to Nice

Sorry James, just seen this. If you pm me an email address I can send gpx or if on komoot I can share Julians original plans.
Your trip looked great - forgotten how much I love the Alps. Very tempted to go back next year and ride the Tour of the Ecrins over a week.
