Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
BAM 3/3 After a great few days away with the Mrs in Stirling and Edinburgh, I soon waved her off at the train station for me to drive further north to Cannich, near glen Affric. It has been mentioned that this is a new one which could be called 'wifepacking' :lol: So with not many miles in my legs t...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
It's amazing. What's the history? It's an old cabin the slate workers probably used as a small shelter. There's about 8 of them either side of the quarry but the other are in a bad state. The quarry dates from 1840 to 1900, this one is higher up the incline so probably dates to the late 1800's. Reg...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Aye, looks very deluxe. Do you carry all the kit up every time, Jeff? Or does the hut now have some permanent fixtures (e.g. the grill)? Thanks. Yeah the grill and bottom grill are residents of the mountain now. I also left some more coal and firewood there on January 1st. I've a stash of firelight...

Re: Todays ride
A pic from yesterday. I went out looking for a future bivvy spot after seeing a tasty pic on Geograph. This tree was growing in a spot marked as a cairn on the OS map. There were a few boulders in a ring around the tree and it looked pretty good....for a tree. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AB...

Not so much Cornwall but here's a few interesting 'shelters' from back in the day here in Eryri. The first one is probably a recent adaptation to an overhanging rock though.

Re: Todays ride
As per the norm, a few of us get together for the Global Fat Bike day thing and generally drink beer and chat gobbledigoo. I made it a solo effort on the Friday night as the weather was bang on. I warmed the cottage up for when the others arrived through Saturday afternoon. Some pics... https://lh3....

Re: Whats your trouser of choice?
I tend to wear trouser for most of the year, so.... In the past I've used the Gore (I think either) R3 or R5 trousers. There're basically designed for running but found them great for summer due to its very lightweight material. However the backside didn't last long due to riding a bike! Then moved ...

However as I didn't have my mojo back then it didn't happen. luckily yesterday was one of them days so I headed up to the summits of Drum, Foel Fras, Carnedd Uchaf, Foel Grach and Carnedd Llewelly...
