Nick, I'll loan you my hooped bivvy in return. :)

No dramas at all Rich, I'm in Edale next Saturday, could meet up sat pm?

Oh, and I found my old work hooped BIVI- a snugpack one, so I'm all squared away..

Complete opposite for me... I struggle to get out of my pit when outside, but struggle to sleep past 04:00hrs when at home.

32:16 for me around the flat plains of Cheshire...
Just rekindled my love for the Singlespeed, as I've been riding my 97 & Fargo over the winter..

Yup, ordered mine last night..

Looks pretty good.

Right, that's it. I'm sold. Just ordered, one Borah M90 long wide bivvy bag and I'm already impatient for the postman's knock?

Pics would be ace...

They seem nice wheels ? Are they nicely built?

Spotty dog IMHO...

Would happily buy a 2nd set.

If you're happy with synthetic and like your Lamina then how about a Lamina 32/35?

Would love too, but can't this year...

I've just got a pair of these http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/xt-d ... il&vw_id=5 for my Fargo.

Spotty dog and cheap as chips IMHO.

Down or Synthetic? What's your budget?

No preference, and budget? Not stupid £, but willing to pay the righ price for the right Kit.

it'll have to fit inside a dry bag inside a visacha ;-)

Are they not that waterproof Steve? Glad you mentioned it, as I wasn't going to bother....

Apologies if this has been done a gazillion times before, but I'm after some advice.. :oops: Ok, so I've a mountain Hardware Lamnia 0, and a Millet pre-prodcution sample,- this seems a bit too lightweight regarding fill etc.. but would really like to just have 1 that covers all the bases.. So, whats...

The Priest Hole is always a good spot.

Near the top of Dove Crag.

Not theeasiest to get to by bike tho's sadly..

Weathers been pretty crappy here in Cheshire, but dragged myself out for shakedown ride part II ™. Think I've just about got the position sorted on my Fargo.. Next weekend will tell, it's the first Bivi trip with it! http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/NorfolkandGoode/B4634A16-1344-41CB-A4AC-C75...

Cheshire Lanes and Delamere for me, giving my Fargo another shakedown ride..

Gonna sort heights of bars out etc..

I've just built this.. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/NorfolkandGoode/6e41e56939c8061e9f973568b6d1a34c.jpg So along with this: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/NorfolkandGoode/null-1.jpg Or if it's on the road this: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/NorfolkandGoode/C5FC90CB-CC2...

It ranks up there with The Ride Journal IMHO..

Love readiung this tho' for inspiration.

I travelled all over the world in a past job.

Sadly, wearing a Uniform, and carry out a few 'jobs'

Would love to travel, but with a bike, and a camera this time.

If only they'd actually print copies....
