Also, having completely missed @suffolk_boii 's list from earlier this year, am starting to get some free time back. If you/anyone fancies going for a spin, could happily find an afternoon/evening.

I think my go-to then would be the ardent, possible the high roller. Have owned both (ardent is on my front wheel now), and both give a good balance of speed and grip, and are more than enough for Ashton court/yer tiz. Dhr will give gobs of grip, but you will loose some speed and nimbleness- as the name suggests, they started life as downhill tyres.
Think to watch on those trails is tyre pressure and rubber compound. The rocks are like glass when wet, so lower pressures a bit and look for a medium compound tyre; durability goes down, but you can't buy new skin.

What are you riding around bristol- more hardback trails, or more natural stuff?

Have an a6000. Personally I've come full circle. Have a few lenses now, but if I'm pratting about in the hills I'll just put the stock lense on. It takes good pics, and is quick to focus. So I'd buy the standard set up, and consider more lenses as and when you feel you need them.

Have done London to cirencester before, on route to bristol. Normally go windsor-twyford-henley-wallingford-didcot-steventon-east hanney-faringdon-lechlade-fairford-cirencester. Only one real hill (coming out of Henley) nice roads, and very do-able fixed.

Would second Aviemore, despite the price. Once there, you can get a bus halfway up Cairngorm itself. From which point you are immediately in the hills proper.

I've got a pair of those giros. They are excellent. The type of shoe which just works on the bike, and will deal with anything not-stupid when walking.

Providing the anthem isn't wrecked, you should see a real improvement- they're v. good bikes.
