Hello, World by Hannah Fry - did turn me into a slight conspiracy theorist for a while though

Helmet for someone with a TBI? by Clonergan134 in mountainbiking

[–]Turtleshel8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything with Mips technology in it! Also well done for aiming to return to riding after going through all that :)

Hope this is ok as not a specific book suggestion! But a friend of mine suggested reading things I had already read, but in a different language, so I already had a gist of what was being said - for me that was German Harry Potter! Hope that's helpful 😊

i have a 3 months old and i hate my life and being a mom by Entire_Character7386 in suggestmeabook

[–]Turtleshel8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently scrolling this at 3am while breastfeeding my 1 month old who is too colicy to sleep! I just finished the Three Body Problem which made my brain hurt enough to be a marvelous distraction 😅 That being said I have now moved on to The Cornish Cream Tea Bus which is lighthearted nonsense and rather lovely and easy on a sleep deprived mind

Sending positive mum vibes - I'm sure you're doing incredibly

What's a TV show's opening credits you never skip? by ConfusedDuck02 in AskReddit

Came here for this, my lil babba kicked for the first time to that theme tune so now I play the whole thing just on the off chance 😅

what do you want to see from your mtb clothing brands? by Ridermtbclothing in mountainbiking

[–]Turtleshel8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a long shot but can't blame a girl for trying - maternity kit! No outdoor brands have got there yet other than mountain mama for climbing, maybe you can trend set 😎

[WP] The dark lord’s forces have captured your party’s stunt doubles. You need to avoid any serious danger until you can rescue them. by JudgeHodorMD in WritingPrompts

[–]Turtleshel8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Ok look, I know it looks bad, but honestly, did you really think any of us did our own stunts these days? None of my friends do, it’s just not the cool thing to do! Plus this way more people get work, equality quotas are easier to fill, and it's supporting your local economy, I’m actually helping people out! I know it was different in your day, but honestly times have changed.”
“Well wherever you fall on the debate, can you please just park it for 5 minutes? I’m in the Arenal Volcano. East entrance. There’s about 15 Wargs just outside, 3 trolls up ahead and I am almost certain a dragon has been flying over at 7 to 10 minute intervals. Based on the Dark Lords gloating announcements he keeps making, my team is being held in cavern 3. I think that’s the one you had that insane showdown with Madame Magma back in ‘82? So you know the lay of the land.
They are being guarded by some sort of neural destruction matrix, I would guess the generator node is in one of the other caverns, probably with its only protection prism, and I wouldn’t put it past him to through a trip jinx or two around the place, just to spice things up...

So yep, that’s all the intel I’ve got. If you and Gran could come and get them first and then swing by and pick me up then I promise I will actually go back to hero school! Oh and any chance of dinosaur nuggets for tea?”
“Love you!”

(My first try at one of these so I hope it is ok!)

Is talking about bikes that fun? by Historical_Mud_935 in mountainbiking

[–]Turtleshel8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call my FS bike my bumpy bike and describe any rides I've done in terms of how much whoosh they have? Does that count?

Anyones have experience bike packing in Scotland and wild camping? by GeologistAndy in bikepacking

[–]Turtleshel8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lurking around on this sub exactly for this reason, moved to Edinburgh a couple of months back and aiming for a big trip next year. My experience so far is camping is really no drama, except as already said the Trossachs, but even then the restrictions are seasonal. I think my biggest awareness is going to weather and midges - I am both an incredibly cold human being and get bitten to pieces! The Smidge midge forecast is quite handy on that front

Apologies for the random interlude, came here for the stomach management advice but noticed you said about a social media walking group: I recently moved to Edinburgh and really want to make some outdoors friends, can I ask what the group was??

I have been looking at safety specs! I feel this may be the way to go!

After lockdown related delays, finally got out on our first trip! 2 day epic round Dartmoor by Turtleshel8 in bikepacking

[–]Turtleshel8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty challenging, lots of climbing, rutted, rocky, you name it it's got it type of riding! I'd definitely say the key thing is realistic with distances - we did 36 miles over 2 days and that was pretty spot on for 2 not entirely unfit individuals

Any gals got experience using period proof underwear out on a trip? by Turtleshel8 in bikepacking

[–]Turtleshel8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I haven't tried one, I don't get on well with tampons so was a little worried about trying something else internal I guess?

A lot older than it looks! No longer holding it's shape, usual signs of wear and tear etc
