I think I've been over that bridge. I didn't really notice the condition, the fact that you have to lift a loaded bike up on to it, then the bars get caught on the railings and the bike wont move along the bridge to leave room to climb up myself was using up all my energy, and it was about 30 deg c! If you look at the picture you can see the lefthand side is quite some distance off the ground.RIP wrote:That shonky bridge must've taken a bit of courage .
I'm glad you like them, makes it worth the effort. I was at my workshop last night and I was messing about with a tyre and syringing out the sealant and a friend had turned up and was telling me how he was going to run his CX bike tubless this year. He asked how my bivi went and I said my pillow had got a puncture. He said I should go tubelessRIP wrote:I rather like your IoW reports Sean, interesting that you say it's not always easy to find different locations/ideas but there always seems to be something going on and worth hearing about in your write-ups . And there's a sort of Enid Blyton air about the place which is appealing, but probably totally mis-read by me .
No problem, it would be nice to have some company. Most of the bivis I've done over the years have been solo so it will make a change to have company. I can literally count the number of people I've bivied with on one hand and I've still got scope to loose a fingerTheBrownDog wrote:Sean, I've not been to the IoW for years but would love a return. If you're planning a Not the BAM in November, reckon you could let us all know?
if its a mid week one reg i may be in ,shift pattern dictates working weekends through november (easier for me to get out towards end of month)RIP wrote:"I said my pillow had got a puncture. He said I should go tubeless" . November might be a prob for me for IoW bivi (family hoohahs still) but deffo keen to get down there so keep me in the "loop" pls. Dunno what I'm doing for Nov BaM TBH. Maybe locally round Daventry way if any takers.
It was great! It just wandered into view, presumably along the main path. Looked at me slightly quizzically, "What's that silly human doing here?" Meanwhile, I was thinking, "Blimey, where's me camera? Will it stay still? Flinkin' zoom function..."RIP wrote:Blimey, that stag is amazing. Nicely caught in the photo too!
