Have we had this yet? Is fastening a helmet to your bag annoying?

Happy with my atom pack, if overpacked it can be squeaky. If you aren’t desperate for UL i would get something a bit more study as it does sacrifice some comfort. That said though I’m very happy with mine. If anything, I wish I had got the 50L. I have the The Atom+ EP40.
Edit - mostly taking it on multi-day solo through hikes

Which bits in particular did were particular bad, planning to do this over 4 days in mid september - unless it does rain quite heavily.
any campsites you would recommend?
This is my current plan. I am meeting some near Uckfield and a blank area of good campsites.
1 Croydon Marsh Green 34km
2 Marsh Green Burnt Oak 30.2km
3 Burnt Oak Arlington 29.1km
4 Arlington Newhaven 21.7km -
Struggling to pace my running for marathon training independently. So I’m looking for some sort of activity tracker that can give me pacing while on a run, not keen to wear one full time so not keen to break the bank and happy for battery thats not at its peak.
Don’t suppose anyone has something at the back of cupboard that they’ve upgraded they would want taking off their hands for cheap!

I think Foden actually wasn’t given the ball enough, watching him specifically he was constantly is asking for the ball and most times doesn’t receive and he is visibly frustrated. I think getting him on the ball as much as possible will get England winning.

must be francescos, londons last bargain.
edit - personally I prefer the more labour intensive but cheaper, pizza wrap, yes just a rolled up pizza.

Sorry, only just seen this message.
This was the route I followed: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46198447
I need to edit the route to add in the second campsite.
I stayed at both of these and they were good

This is interesting I will try this. I
had not done any through hiking for years just day hikes until the last bank holiday when I did a slightly shorter route than you suggested here but again over three days. Detling to Folkstone following the North Downs Way. 20km first day, 25km second day, 20km third day. -
I have bought the following before and they have been successful, although using a slightly different version now.

I have used sticky pads, mosquito bits, DE, drying out for 6 months. I truly believe it is completely impossible to get rid and even if you do they’ll come back via newly bought plants or even having windows open in summer. A combination of all three and I have mostly got rid but sticky pads are doing 95% of the work. I am also not convinced they are attracted to the yellow so I just try and get as much coverage over the soil.
I would say the DE doesn’t seem to be as successful as I hoped. Gnats seem to be able to get through but i’ve never witnessed it and when you water from the bottom it can soak back through the soil if not careful and soak the DE making it useless anyway.

I feel like a philistine, what is a handed pillowcase and does polite society dictate which side they open on, i.e. knives and forks! should the openings be matching on the inside or the outside?
