Cycling UK Forum

Best bike I ever had. Wish I could remember who I sold mine to (someone on this forum) so I could trade it back.

Great stuff thank you. Looks like it's my turn this summer.

I do still laugh at the thought of shouting "WIMPS" at you guys when I saw you in Gloucester

Hello Wimps - was the route ever made available?

Thanks.

Thanks chaps, I have much to consider in the coming weeks and months. I shall keep you updated :D Three and a bit years ago :shock: I promised to keep you updated. I never did buy a folder, I kinda forgot about the idea as life got in the way. For a good couple of years I just twizzled about doing ...

I would be very grateful if the Wimps route was made available by GPX.
Thanks!

I had a red number 1 on my messages tab for over a week and couldn’t find it. It’s a different place when you’re not in contacts list doh! Wished I’d found your message that day but probably hadn’t a clue where we were anyway. :) :lol: Ah, no worries. I had a lovely 80miler ride for that meetup. I ...

Thank you philsknees. I'll grab a ridge pole soon and let you all know how it goes...

Well done chaps! Chapeau!

Sorry that the Bristol day was a bit of a downer, that's the day I was waiting for you all at Almondsbury.
I could have come further south and guided you, but there we are. Alls well that ends well.

All in weight is 1.95kg
The material is the usual tent material, Nylon? It looks the exact same as is on my Terra Nova.

From the help in this thread - thank you all - I now understand what I did wrong;

The gothic arch needs to lean quite a way forward, once I did that...all is well!

This is actually a super little 1-man tent, perfect my needs; really lightweight and packs down tiny.

Thank you chaps. I didn't get home in time tonight to get the tent up, but I shall do that tomorrow so you can see.

Thank you philsknees.

I have just found another piece of paper in the bottom of the bag;

According to this I do appear to have everything i need? No ridge pole needed??

I'm going to buy one anyway I think.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/152231827@N08/albums/72157692919564200 I've taken a photo of branding, instructions and the one A frame connector. I also have 2 poles that go into each end of the connector, and 1 upright pole for the tail end of the tent. It is possible I don't have all the pieces as ...

Thanks guys.

I do indeed have a Force 10. It felt like it needed extra rigidity, I'll look into itnow I know the correct term to use.

I hope this is in the right forum area, sorry if no - I guess it's "technical" and "bits"... Tent Advice please... I'd like to strengthen my A-frame tent by putting in an extra pole to lay horizontally between the two uprights...I hope this makes sense. My problem is, I can't thi...
