Re: Running 2 stem cells

Velcro was annoying as it caught on the loops, I cable tie them on, best done when they are full.

Only run with two of them

Bivi spots near Chepstow

Thinking about a quick blast from Bristol over the Old Severn bridge after work and back before 9. (Might use the train at Severn Beach)
Anyone have any bivi spots or places to avoid?

Re: Bivvy a month 2014 thread.

3/10 (Didn't start until March)

Local ride south of Bristol with Taylor formerly known as Flatfish, slept in a wood out of the wind and woken by Flights arriving at the airport.

Even got home in time to drop the kids at school.

Knee length Seal Skin socks, stops water entering the top You didn't do the BB200 this year did you! Knee high is not enough!! :o (Actually is was the tussocks that were bigger than that rather than the bogs - I just wanted to be melodramatic ;) ) I've not even been close to the BB200 :) Wadders?
