Lovely stuff...

Riding the Wander Wye in two weeks, anyone recommend a good route from Raynes Park back to Paddington? Or am I just aiming Putney Bridge, Fulham Road, Queens Gate and onto the Carriage Drives?
-
Nice! Glad you had a good trip. Good call on avoiding some of the Cotswold Way, even when it was only a bit damp from dew, some of that mud makes you 6inches taller within 10 paces.

We use a piped Vango stove, ie pot doesn't sit on the canister, a windshield, and a gsi dualist. With a homemade pot cosy.
-
IIRC Lomo make a double ended dry bags, for not a much more than cost of sealant.
-
If it doesn't, don't forget about.

Were you on Peacocks and Kites?
-
Nibley House in North Nibley take campers, if you email them. I can pm you some wild spots we used when walking the Cotswold way.
-
Might cross paths then.
I'd probably just stick with a frame bag if it was me.

The vango version has done me well for 4 or 5 years. Did TMB with it too.

How big are we talking? Top tube bag? On a side note, just picked up two Ixon IQ premiums for£20 each. Without charger or batteries, but I've got a stash of decent rechargeables.
Which 400?Also, doesn't Flatlands have hall sleeping on the Friday night?

Not sure how practical it would be, but if you know someone who is a dab hand at overlock stitching try butchering a cheap set to make a shirtcuff-esque split or v-/u-shaped cutout to take pressure off where the tendon comes to the surface.
-
Actually it's the length of cable you need that makes it unfeasible.

Idaho instant mash. We use it when backpacking, we sometimes stick some biltong in the water whilst it's boiling to soften it. Or a tin of tuna. 2minute microwave rice is good too but a lot heavier.
-
I guess ones with a thumb loop will open a whole other can of worms . Re-purposed calf sleeves? I know bridgedale make some but they might be way too tight along the whole length. Plus not long enough.
Decathlon do some armwarmers that look like it's just fabric to grip -
Perhaps I should have qualified my response by including 'in fair weather and with dry roads.' As I would fully support any organiser for not validating people's ride if they have been trapsing slurry in to cafes and tearooms.
-
Mudguards are dependent on the organiser and how much of a stickler they are, theoretically they could refuse to validate your Brevet card. .

TK Maxx have what look like women's Gore Phantom 2.0 for £45.

Correct, I also found some adidas windstopper ones with a wide band that holds them in place but I can't remember where I got them from, probably TackyMax. Although they bunch up a bit when doing anything other than rolling around on the floor like I've been shot.

Freshly washed and unstretched bicep end is 20cm, 14cm wrist. My bicep is 30cm, wrist 20cm and it doesn't feel tight when on. Length is about 47cm. Photo of the inside at end (obviously). Like others have said, at 3quid probably worth a punt.
-
Can measure the bicep bit when I get home if you want.
-
The old 'On-One' version had a rolled seam at each end of the tube to hold them up.
I think they are these ones now.

TK Maxx have some gore bits ridiculously cheap, just small left in mens jackets.

Sometimes takes a few minutes to update.

How rocky is the ground? A few boulders or literally on a rock? Or just hard to find suitable pitch site?
True 4 season tent for snow loading?
As per usual, its a bit of a 'pick two' scenario.
You're probably looking at zPack, TarpTent, MLD. Hilleberg Soulo is a bomber full winter tent, but weighs 2kg+
Currently using a Tarptent Scarp2 with crossing poles to make it free standing, previously used a trekkertent drift2, although that wasn't great on uneven pitches.
