Out for a full rig test at the weekend with Mrs TSK. All thing seemed to go pretty well.
Both of us had a slight problem of rubbing on the bags in the harness when bottoming out on the suspension. Going to resolve that by putting in a bit of vinyl sheet and taking it a bit easier on the bigger drop offs.
Mrs TSK not completely thrilled with the Restrap harness as it seems to work loose. I'm pretty pleased with the Alpkit one as the acres of velcro don't seem inclined to let go at all.
Route was over the Trans Penine Trail from Sheffield to Charlesworth and then picking up bridleways to a bivvy spot above Kielder Reservoir. Back home over the Penine Bridleway to the top of Rushup Edge and then down the broken road into the Hope Valley and up Surprise View after Hathersage.
By far the best bit was the Penine Bridleway. You can't escape chunks of hike a bike but most of it is really lovely riding broad riding with great views. Going to have to make an effort to do a lot more of it.
