Re: The post man's been ...
Some 100g screw on gas cartridges. An item I would usually buy locally but they've been out of stock since I started looking weeks ago.
Normally I'd get stung about £15 for delivery, being gas they'd have to come by courier, which makes buying online uneconomic. However, I found a shop which only charged £4* and the cartridges were cheaper than locally when they had them.
* This was achieved by just putting them in a box with no warning on the outside and posting

An Ultegra RX rear mech. Hoping this will deal with some excess chain slack on the Amazon (caused by me running a gear ratios well beyond Shimanos recommendation).

Work are telling me they won't be opening the staff showering area when school re-opens. Also, we now can't leave clothes in work. Guess I'm back to changing in the bogs like in my old place! Greg, aka Mr. Smelly the science teacher

Gatewood Cape from Sweden. (no) Thanks to the Bargain Alert thread
Sadly none of my existing poles fit hence separate thread and will then be pestering Stu for one and some groundsheet. Might have been cheap but I bet I can still get it up to £200

Same here. I test pitched it with my 120cm pole (bang in the middle of SMD's 45"-49" range). Seems to sit pretty well.

45" generally works better for the Gatewood. It's what SMD recommend.Same here. I test pitched it with my 120cm pole (bang in the middle of SMD's 45"-49" range). Seems to sit pretty well.

The tag on it says
I guess they're allowing for pitching higher or lower to the ground.45" or 49" Carbon Finer Pole

Re: The post man's been ...
They are but as I've just said to CM, I reckon at 49" you'll likely end up having to angle / offset the pole.I guess they're allowing for pitching higher or lower to the ground.

I received the Cycling UK King Alfred’s Way guise today. It was expensive but very well put together. Seems very wild camp friendly. Just need to find some time in my life where I can ride the whole thing.

Some Montane Atomic "waterproof trousery pants*" My son has snaffled my old ones for his moped ... my excuse anyhoo. These are really nice - proper full length ankle to arse zip will make them perfect for those quick change moments.

Always nice to come home to a surprise, two parcels one from that man in the middle Wales shed & a replacement camera after the old one was dying at the end of warranty.

Re: The post man's been ...
... with a particularly sensuous length of carbon fashioned into a pole, 115cm, folding, 5-piece, Gatewood for the uses of. By my scales, 64g. Quite the beautiful thing. I'm taking 5 minutes just to fondle and fiddle with it. Mm, mmm.
Also a 15cm/10cm, 10g, extension piece; for when 115cm just isn't enough.
All I need now is a Gatewood!
