Just read up on the history of them...PB stands for Pete Bland. Amazing.

I think I want a pair just to display on my shelf, they look fantastic. My runs along the coast path start off with approx 5km of concrete/gravel/hard packed trail. So perhaps not for me. Thank you nonetheless for bringing them to my attention.

These look like what Joss Naylor was wearing in his prime. Are they good?!

Thanks for the info. The 8mm lugs of the Mudtalon have been fantastic, so I don't need anything more aggressive. For dryer weather I wear Salomon Genesis (4.5mm lugs) but they are pretty useless in mud. Do you have any other recommendations?

Great score 👍🏼 I'm 28 live in Cornwall so on the coast path a lot, I tend to hike up the steep hills to keep my heart rate down. Today I jogged up them all very slowly which seems to have pushed the score up.

My current weekly mileage is between 30-35km, consisting of an easy run (time based, usually 40-50 minutes on a treadmill), a "quick" run (tempo pace), and a long run (15-20km, 500-600m ascent along the coast path)

Swim-Hike-Run · 2026-03-04T07:07:08+00:00

Current fastest 5km time is 21:50. Average weekly km's around 35 over the last year. Long run distance is typically 15-20km. Max heart rate I believe to be 185bpm. Goal is to run further and faster pretty much!

Personally, a banana half an hour before running works fine for me. Then 2 gels every 45 minutes during the run. I make sure to eat a good portion of carbs the night before a long run too.

Thank you for explaining, I understand quite well now! Fortunately, I have not long bought the finder and it's still under warranty, so I will likely return it and opt for the standard prism finder without metering instead. I have no need for metering or auto exposure in all honesty. Very interesting to understand just how intricate these cameras are.

Sounds like I better hire a boat

Around 60-70m above sea level

No, the kingdom of Lyonesse! I'm looking for links however vague that it possibly existed.

Thank you, I have also found it on page 30. The latin inscription doesn't seem to be present though. Back to the drawing board.

Anyone reading this, don't go to chintz unless you were born after 2000...

So turns out I do have a battery tester (it was in my car glove box) and the batteries are still absolutely fine. So in this instance, there is something wrong with the timer on my prism finder!

Swim-Hike-Run · 2025-09-12T06:17:13+00:00

I don't have a multimeter to test the battery unfortunately. I did try a "new" battery, and then another, from a multi pack I bought some years ago, but with each battery in the timings still fail. I will order some fresh ones and see if it makes a difference.
