I dunno that much tours. But I have in my head several ideas for crossing scotland off road. But that's still in a prelimary phase


Singlespeedpunk had some ideas about Wales I think.

Hello,

I'm Alexander. Living in the very flat Netherlands. Been MTB-in and camping for years. Internet made me check out the GDR site and it got me hooked on combining the two. Albeit on the road now (no long offroadroutes in the Netherlands) but Scandinavia and the UK are nearby..Cheesy


Here's my current setup:

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll get in touch with him.

My plan was/is:

1. getting jiggy with some sharp scissors
2. pulling some foam out of it (enough to make a flap and fold one side around)
3. Glueing the flaps (and making a tight connection using some wood and screw tighteners)
4. Stichting the flap for extra strenght

Seam sealing the edges/stitches is something that I forgot. Definetly necessary here.

Hello,

as a first post I will start with a question...Cheesy
Last night as I lay in my tent during a S24O I thought that I could make my matress somewhat lighter.

At the moment I have a thermarest prolite 4 regular. Most of the time I use it folded in two (yeah I like the comfort around my shoulders and hips). But what if I bought a thicker matress (something like the womens prolite plus) and cut off the bottom part. Less weight and thicker where I need it.

With some industrial glue and pieces of wood/nuts and bolts it would be possible to make a jig for sealing the matress.

Is the above feasible? Has anybody tried it?
