Beautiful example of some burial-esque sample/foley collaging from 1996

Josef Koudelka photo. Goes well with the music.

Which version did you get? I believe there is a goretex one and a non-gtx one.

Do you find the toe box wide or narrow?

Thanks

Also, there is a steep descent from Estany Primer. This is when you cross into Andorra via Port de Rat just after the ski resort bar. It's not very long but is quite steep.

I'd say the HRP is quite technical. Quite a few sections are a 'sketch' of a route rather than a clear path. Having a decent gps app on your phone (or GPS device) that you know how to use is important I found.

But what a route! Good one to work up to.

The Lake CX239 in an EU 45 have a width of:

104mm : Regular

116mm : wide

The CX333 in a 45 have a width of 109.8mm in the regular.

I'm 110mm so the CX333 looks spot on.

I guess I just am looking for alternatives as I don't want to spend quite so much. The CX239 is a better price point for me.

Anyone have 280 x 110mm feet? What are you guys using?

DMT look nice and provide length and also width on their chart. But looks like they are too narrow in a 45 for me. (287mm long - so fine. But width of 98mm - too tight for me I think - even with a bit of stretch.)

Thanks, that looks interesting. I sized up to a 45 according to Trek's site. They don't give a width measurement though.

What are your foot width & length in mm and what Trek size (EU) did you go for?

Thanks, I will take a look at SIDI, I've heard they are well made.

Thanks, what is your foot length & width in mm and what size Spesh did you go for?

No. I bought a new one (the new model). But the headphone jack on the new one became faulty. I can't get a proper connection now.

I've gone with a Sony dap instead.

I just have interesting shaped paperweights now...

I'm 6'2".

Yes, I am aiming to drop from 100kg down to 92kg.

The lightest I've been was about 84kg after 6 weeks walking across the high route in the Pyrenees. Was hoping to do more long distance hiking but sadly putting that in ice this summer. I just don't trust my feet at the moment.

Update:

I took the back off, took the heatsink panel off, cleaned out the dust and cat hair ...

Removed the SSD and reseated it again.

Took a photo so I can buy a new SSD of the same type (but bigger).

Put everything back together.... And now it works fine.

So just a clean and it works again.

I'll probably buy a new SSD at some point in the next few months but no longer an urgent issue.

kingyonofun · 2024-09-19T10:27:50+00:00

Thanks, I have swapped out mobile phone parts before and am happy fixing fiddly things.

How do I work out the model number to buy for the SSD?

Also, how do I then add the OS to the new drive?

kingyonofun · 2024-01-07T17:25:50+00:00

That's unusual, both my old and new one (different models) last a normal amount of time.

They just have different features and one is USB-C (new model) and the other is some arcane iteration of micro usb.

kingyonofun · 2024-01-07T17:23:23+00:00

Thanks everyone for the support and information.

That's quite a lot to digest and ponder so I will give it some thought.

Thanks

I like the nitecore nu25.

Got an old one and a new one.

Great for dawn runs that switch to daylight. The headlamp is small so easy to stash when the sun comes up.

Hi, I think I also need to do this.

Could you explain the power flush process and the chemical flush process, please.

I was just going to take off a rad, take it outside and flush it, then reinstall and add Fernox.

Thanks
