Re: Bivvy a Month 2016.

7/7 Mid week peaks. Lovely warm & dry ride (& long push) from home onto Kinder. Up at 4.30am for a very wet ride home, breakfast & a weary day in work. Thoroughly enjoyed it. https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8786/28514877311_69f1fd9c93_z.jpg IMG_8469 by Green Vegetables , on Flickr https:/...
