Can't you contact Exped and send it back to them directly?
That's what I've done with my failed Thermarests over the years, sent back to Cascade Designs in Ireland.

S4C Giro programmes are also available on BBC iplayer after broadcast, e.g. yesterday's stage 1 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p077p6zm

No idea why they are on iplayer rather than channel 4's All4 service?

Expensive, but Kinetics' Brompton conversions (new rear triangle and front forks, wih disc brakes) can be fitted with 2" Big Apple tyres.

It's c...

The flysheet on the original Stalon GT was not nylon, it was a polyester material and in that it differed from the other Hillebergs at the time is was produced. Maybe that was why it degraded with such a short usage. My Stalon was not a GT version, and was definitely their Kerlon nylon (1800 I thin...

Faichemard Farm campsite is nice, adults only so no kids running around.
About 2 miles west of Invergarry, not sure if that is suitable for your route though.

There is also the issue of UV damage, which can shorten lives. Are Hille's mofre resistant to this? No, I don't think so. My Hilleberg Stalon died from UV degradation after 18 years of maybe four weeks use per year plus a four month trip in NZ summer (high UV). My 30 year old Saunders Jetpacker Plu...
