Has anyone seen any offers or discount codes for Ordnance Survey online maps? My subscription is nearly up for renewal...

Are the gift cards any good for what you want? They’re £25..

https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/os-ma ... gift-card/

I picked up a renewal recently at the Kendal Mountain Fest, can’t remember if it was £20 or £25. Could be worth looking out for any pop-ups they might have..

When I renewed, I bought it cheaper from Dash4it. The card was the original from OS just cheaper

One of the reviewers said this about it

…  if it's actually raining take a waterproof instead.… .

So might be worth a shot if it's more for cold weather riding and some drizzle. I remember Stu once mentioning that proper waterproofing starts at about 20,000HH hence that's what I always aim for.

For £30 though, IME Nukeproof gear is always really really well made.

I'm taking a punt anyway, although having read the reviews may have ordered a size too large. I'll report back on that. And re. this softshell 'waterproof' malarkey, FWIW Castelli never call the Gabba/Perfetto waterproof, and Gore-tex make a point of telling you the fabric used isn't waterproof, but to most intents and purposes I find them to be. My point being that I'm hoping the Nukeproof hoodie is using a poor man's version of the fabric and so will perform in a vaguely similar manner. We'll see …

Indeed most things are only water resistant as ultimately they will have a fail point and I assume the marketers are wary of dating waterproof to avoid returns etc so sat resistant.

I have got wet in my perfetto but it was power shower levels of rain for a commute home, everything got wet.

Sad to report that Outdoor Provisions are calling time on the business. They've got a stock clearance sale going on, everything half price.

My old Bontrager dropper gave up recently, so ordered a Fox Transfer job from Wiggle, as it was about the cheapest option around. £109 and came with a trigger!

Jacket arrived today. Water sheds completely, but there's no taping at all on seams, just overlocking. It's far more casual a cut than I'd usually want to but ought to be good for equally casual riding.

Amazing stuff. I used to have a Lowe Alpine fleece many years ago that would do that. Beaded water better than my 3 layer gorecrap but moved it on to a deserving friend who probably didn't realise what a novelty it was!

Hooe it does you well.

There are a couple of good looking retro ATBs on Facebook Marketplace in Cockermouth, Cumbria for a good price if anyone's into that sort of thing. Nothing to do with me, and I haven't got the time to ride the bikes I've already got:

Alpkit are running a solstice sale.

Enter EAST17 at checkout online or in store for 17% off everything until midnight.

[thenorthwind]

That's strange, given the solstice isn't till about 3 tomorrow morning. What's the relevance of East 17? "Stay another day"? I guess that would explain the prematurity

[Lazarus]

17 hours of darkness till it rises in the east

[thenorthwind]

Fair enough. Though it's more like south-east at the moment
