It's like when I listen to the travel news, and they say the A82 is blocked due to a shed load. I always think, a shed load of what? :lol:

An ardent from next day tyres thanks to the PSA thread, Jones loop bars thanks to macskive and 2 pairs of RAF goretex overtrousers which I need to cut down into 3/4s.

Unfortunately Mrs hoppy was at home ill today so I'm getting some grief and that's before everything else arrives.

A Rainbow from tarptent.com. Sterling service, especially at such a busy time of the year, and only £25 to clear it through customs.

Father Christmas emptied his sack at my house recently and left me a new AlpKit Stem Cell and a copy of Lost Lanes Wales, which is a great book. Can't wait to get out and try a few of the routes.

Some rather lovely carbon pegs and a 1M carbon pole from deepest darkest Wales. Just arrived.

If the postman could just deliver a cure for this virus I've got I could have a go at using some of the stuff.

B&m luxos iq2. Wasn't in for the dynamo wheel yesterday so it's being delivered next week. Hopefully, it'll bring some motivation for night rides after work.

Couple of items arrived this week.

the online January sales have tempted me into an experimental sleep system...

A SOL escape lite bivy and a haglofs LIM 10 synthetic bag. We'll see how they go

I've never managed an 'acceptably un-damp' bivy in a stand alone bivy bag, which is fine for one night, but as I've multi day plans ahead, seemed like it was worth a try.
