    Packable towels

    I find that you get yourself feeling much drier if you have 2 towels. A quick wipe over with a small flannel sized pack towel to remove 90 % of the moisture and then finish off with your full sized towel. Saves trying to get dry with a damp clammy towel. Next wash, it doesn't particularly...

    Winter cycling / commuting?

    Rode 60k this morning, the last half hour a white out. (Northants, Bucks and Beds) I kept to gritted roads and all was fine, in fact, with there being fewer cars on the road, it was more pleasant than usual and probably safer. As snow goes, this stuff seems to be quite grippy, though I...

    Speed awareness course.

    If you are open minded about it you will probably enjoy it, you do learn something and you can chat and moan with a bunch of people in the same boat. 2nd time is a bit boring though :rolleyes:

    Elderberries - toxicity

    I made some elderberry vodka (or gin) cannot remember which. I cannot remember much to be honest but we drank it all with no ill effect. Apart from the memory loss of course.

    18650 headlight

    I have a Crelant CH10 on Banggood Got it a couple of years ago and it has been very good. The only complaint is that the headband is a bit tight and I dont have a particularly big head. Excellent value for the under £20 I paid and probably pretty good for the £30 price tag on amazon...

    What is the best 3 man tent under £200?

    I bought a Vango Halo 300 tent a couple of years ago. The door design is poor, when you open it up any water on the outside of the tent goes straight inside the tent. Also after a few weekends of light use the inner door zip is pulling away from the inner tent, so I am not too impressed with...

    Poor show

    Most of the land in this country is owned by a privileged few, has been for eons, and probably always will be. I will accept that what these 'kids' did is wrong - technically - but it was the same privileged few that own all the land, that made up all the rules! The vast majority of the...

    Poor show

    I can't see any vandalism, looks more constructive than destructive to me. If they managed to build and use what they did, within half a mile of the farm house without being noticed, then the land owner has more land than he needs and should share some of it with people who have none. And has...

    Mark Hill Knives

    To the OP I have a 4 inch x 4mm Bushtool style knife sitting around doing nothing. It was the first scandi grind I have done, the grind isnt perfect and the edge needs touching up. It has been unused for a long time and could do with a few weekends in the woods. You are welcome to it...
