BMW bars and thule bike carrier. You need a diff set of T bolts as the track on the BMW rack i wider.

GoPro are pretty good. Any of the new 3 range are worth while getting even the white edition. Most stuff ends up compressed on the net anyway, so do you need 4k.

I have loads of gopro stuff on my site – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk although much is kayak related the GP stuff is pretty generic.

Still making them now and again.

Paddlefest on in the Highlands this weekend. But alas not much water on the cards. Heron is slow, lots of other fun options.

Check out – http://www.nswatersports.co.uk and http://www.northeastkayaks.co.uk

Wasabi are def the best bet.

Common on the Leon from the same era. Fairly easy DIY fix. Kit from the stealer.

M&S Autograph. Not too boxy as they taper a little.

Been a few times with school groups. Great fun.

A little bit further away but check out these guys. They are mates of mine and can put on a range of activities inc gorge walking – http://www.endlessadventurenortheast.com

Wrecker, my exped is mainly used in my kayak. Always water kicking around in the bottom of the boat and my kit (in the bag) always dry.

I use an exped cloudburst – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=4149

My thoughts on it.

You did well getting all of the folk out of the Lake L picture!

We went from Vancouver to Whistler to Jasper to Banff to Kamloops (Sun Peaks) then a few days on Vancouver Island.

Loved Jasper and the surrounding area, the drive to Banff was great. Banff was disappointing. We moved on a day early and spent an extra night at Sun Peaks.

May have to repair using the disk utility. I sometimes have this issue.

Made one a few months back. Not had chance to use it –

Made from XPac so is tough and light.

Nikon D5100

Both from last Saturday

I have a 2010 Mac Mini. Great bit of kit and easy to upgrade. It had a 250gb HD that I soon filled up. I now have a 500gb drive in place and run a couple of 3TB WDs (one for Timemachine backups and the other for general storage).

Adding a new HD to your macbook is super simple. Lots of video guides on the net. I have done a couple. Regardless its worth taking to an Apple store for them to check out and hopefully swap out the KB.

Your SD card may be at fault for the unit freezing up. I had a similar issue with a Hero2 before changing the card. For the hero 2 you could use a class 6 or above for the hero 3 it must be class 10.

I use 32 or 64 Sandisk micro SD cards on my Hero 3 (black & silver) without issue. There are a great number of fake cards out there so be careful. I picked up a dodgy 32gb sandisk one from a Jersey based ebayer. Was swapped out without issue.

Which SD Memory Card For My GoPro?

Def a difference with how it rides. I’m detecting less flex when the power is put down. I have swapped my wheels over for my other set of RQ and Flows which are setup tubeless and the bike feels great.

I’ve always liked the Petzl Range. I have a Tikka II at the moment.

I have a silver and black GP3. The black was purchased from the US just before Christmas and has had no issues. I have used a good quality SD card and have made sure that when updating the firmware that all steps have been covered to the letter.

Loads of my Gopro stuff here inc a number of comparisons of the models – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?cat=27

Hoses all nicely done now. The HBs have been rotated back. Just need to bleed the brakes, it was getting too cold to do them today.

Assuming its for biking the chest harness is worth getting as creates a better shooting angle than the helmet mount.

Get a good class 10 memory card, this can make a massive difference – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=1836

A couple of spare batteries are also worth getting. One battery will not last out a whole days ride.

GoPros free software is pretty good. I have a mac and use imovie.

Forks are 140 floats. My other soul had 140 vanillas and I like the way it rides at that angle.

Brakes are good, hoses are now shorter and routed on the inside. I have a set of X2s but prefer the M4s.

I always wrap both sides to prevent heel rub. When I sell my old frames folk seem to appreciate that.

Looking at the pic a bit more the hoses need to be shorter. I have built the Cotic from the bits that were on my SC Heckler.

I have a 1 yr old frame in black and wanted the new one in black, but am really liking the green and am happy with the choice.

Just building up my green soul – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=4991

righog where in the NE?

I’m based on Teesside and run http://www.unsponsored.co.uk loads of boaters around here.

I can recommend Ken Hughes. Great guy, great paddler. Did a 1st aid course with him years ago.

I have had a Black edition for over a month. No issue with charging.

Picked it up this evening.

I was in Bikescene on Saturday having a look at the frames. I only live 20mins away. My bikes tend to ride on the roof of the car now so being able to use a bike rack is a must.

How has your carbon enduro been holding up?

I normally use GoPros but had a Contour +2 for test and used it on a ride this week. Due to its size/weight I mounted it on the seat tube and i worked really well with some nice shots. Facing it backwards was a great idea as the footage was pretty good. Trying different mounting points makes for a better video when you edit it all together. Editing isn’t difficult but you do need quite a bit of footage just to get a few minutes of watchable video.

I use 32GB class 10 on the whole. 16GB will probably do just as well.

Memory Card categories explained – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=1836

I have Howies, Icebreaker and Embers. I use them for walking, biking and kayaking. I wouldn’t go back to synthetic.

The Power of the Merino

GP Hero 2 or GP Hero 3 Silver (or black if feeling flush)

I have a few bits and bobs about them here – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?cat=27

On the 2nd page is a comparison of the two.

I had two weeks on a teacher exchange in the states four weeks after 9/11. During my time there the school had to “lock down” because of a guy spotted with a gun on the playground. Thankfully it was a false alarm, but what was alarming was the fact that they practice for it just like we practice for fire.

GoPro is the way to go. Get the handlebar mount and the chest mount.

Loads of GP stuff (info) – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?cat=27

Went from an Octavia VRS 170bhp TDI to a 118D M sport 144bhp. Obviously a little less room but drives really well. All the bells/whistles and cheaper than another 2nd hand same type of spec VRS!

I am hunting down a set of winter wheels at the minute as I predict it will be a mare in the snow/ice. The Octavia was crazy with its low profile 18’s

They can take the hit. If the outer case gets damaged parts can be replaced.

The curved stick on mount will be the best bet for mounting to your lid. I use mine (now a GP 3 Silver Edition) for kayaking.

I have loads of go pro stuff on my site (most is kayak related) – http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?cat=27

TLR spilts are decided by the school.

I don’t normally post on education threads but this one is of interest.

I work in a large secondary with around 100 teaching staff. Some arrive just in time and leave on the bell, this does annoy me. The majority don’t do this.

Personally I leave the house before 7am and have a 10-15min drive to work. I work from the moment I get into school, through lunch time and normally get home well after 6. 7pm has become the norm. I am on the SLT so don’t have as much planning as others, my partner teaches more classes than I currently have and spends at least 5-6 hours on a weekend planning/marking/prep.

Our school has just moved to a new build. During the summer I had one day off and worked two of the weekends to ensure that the move was successful. I don’t know how much harder I could work.
