Re: Columbia Outdry jacket issue

Had mine a few years, it’s been well used, rolled up both wet and dry, thrown in the bottom of a bag and washed in a machine. It shows no sign of wear.

Re: Cotswold winter bivvy 10/11 Dec.

Now have a route, riding north from Stroud following the edge of the Cotswold escarpment to Guiting Power to bivvy up for the night. Then heading backing down to Stroud though the villages that sit to the east of the escarpment. About 60 miles in total.

Cotswold winter bivvy 10/11 Dec.

Have been reading all the winter bivvy posts and all seem 2 hours plus drive from me. So would anyone like to do something in the Cotswolds? I'm in Stroud & could put something together.
