  1. I think 13 years of very regular use (commuting, carrying groceries, trips etc.) is pretty good for a £22.50 waterproof #rucksack. Sadly the lining was going, and tears were starting to appear. Luckily #alpkit still make the same bag, a Gourdon 20 in chili red (now 45€).

  2. Making the most of our weekend in Kielder by getting out on the big bike today. First time round the Lonesome Pine trail. Feeling a bit out of practice, and didn't have anybody with me, so taking it very steady on the way down, but great fun. Definitely worth having another go when I'm feeling more confident.

  3. Great walk up Beamsley Beacon near Ilkley today.

    First outing for a new #Alpkit toy to brew some tea at the summit.

    No better reward for the effort!

  4. @ChrisMayLA6 don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

    Every #BCorp I’ve discovered in the #UK are existing, honest, reputable companies that have taken a step to formalise their values (#Riverford, #Alpkit, #KrystalHosting, #ZenInternet). It’s an extra badge or stamp that acknowledges their effort and certifies their honesty. Maybe in some cases it is not “enough” - of course there are always improvements to be made in anything… but it is something; something good.

  5. Productive evening in the garage: new tyres and new brake discs on new wheels, new wheels on (old) bike.

    Still have to add sealant, but I'll do that when it's ready to roll; need to swap out a cracked brake/gear lever bracket first.
