Looks like I'll have the opportunity for a bivi out on the evening of Saturday the 17th of Feb.
Not sure where to head out to yet but will be driving or cycling from hull some time in the evening.
Open to suggestions of venue if anyone knows a good spot or fancies joining me.

Moors sounds good, But what bit of beach were you thinking?

Only just clocked this.
Am in Leeds so NYM would suit me. Can meet anywhere, but am a bit out of condition, so if you don’t mind plenty of stops and a more social pace, then I would be up for this!
Keep us posted!

That sounds excellent!
Have done the Cinder Track and surrounding many times, but never further North than that, so good for me.
Breakfast on Sunday Would be a winner.

Excellent work!
My problem is i'm busy on saturday till early afternoon at best, probably more like early evening...
I could get the train hull to scarborough early evening then bike out to the bivi spot, how far from scarborough is it? (could you P.M. me the bivi location?)

its a six hour ride from scarborough to my bivi spot
whats your plan then if you only available for a evening ride,i plan a 2 day bikepack trip every fortnight so try and make the most of the weekend

Afraid I'm out, my plans have been changed for me, bugger.

Really sorry to have missed this.
I would like to tag along with you one weekend. If your out most other weekends (?) then I’m sure we could sort something out.
Am flexible designation wise.
