4 /4 for this year It's taken me a week to get round to this , I thought I had 3 day's off in the middle of last week so a good time to get reacquainted with Wales . Somewhat inspired by Verena's BAM report where she went through an area I have been meaning to go back to, it was 25 years or so since...

Chew,
I would be interested if its still available .

Thanks Jurassic I am not as tall as you , it seems like a good option to use with the tarp for bug protection .

Is the standard /standard Borah Bivvy bag large enough to have the sleeping mat in the bag as well as the sleeping bag ?

Wonderfully coordinated luggage Reg

Have a good time with whatever or whoever s out there .

Well done Stu have a great evening

3/12 for this year . Another one just in time on Wednesday night in the back garden following a very therapeutic ride up and down and around the Malvern's . Had to drop the van off for a timing belt change in the morning so had a brew and some porridge on the ride back home . Hopefully everything go...

Following last Friday's candy black panel, I thought I'd do another but this time a metallic black base with some silver flake ont' top ... hello 1974 :wink: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JA0c5NhEHko/YEIutzMocWI/AAAAAAAAH90/CNw6yph08_U0wOaXfNCmf6zbYZvL71LlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/flake.jpg Here's my tuppence ...

With an almost perfect second hand Pace winter active jacket to replace an ancient Polaris one on which the zips have gone but is still my go to cold weather choice hope this one is as warm and last as long if it does it's unlikely I will need another .

2/2 and 26 consecutive. I went for an evening ride up the Malvern hills to enjoy the sunset and took some food and drink with me in order to eat out for a change! i decided i would follow the example set last year and eat at the highest point in the area . I got there in time to see the last of the ...

Its been a good day motorbike wise the Postman delivered a letter from the DVLA containing a registration document for the lockdown project and I also managed to get my old Ariel started after it has spent a long time unloved . Just got back from a ride on the Malvern's glorious sunset one side fan...

My favourite ever Forks are Pace rc40's to the point I had 4 bikes with them on at one point and am still riding two, for me personally they were the ultimate fit and forget forks light and coil sprung I know others may not have had the same years of trouble free use . I have modern Pike's which are...

I definitely used to have buttered Weetabix with chocolate spread along with a cup of tea when I was a kid . I also have to eat some of the beans cold from the tin before they go in the saucepan so going to get some Weetabix and see .

The postman came with a pair of the Columbia Fairbanks Omni heat boots , I suffer from very cold feet so having seen these recommended by Ton, Colin ,and others I thought I would have one final attempt to keep the feet not necessarily warm but above the pain threshold . I put the plastic Nukeproof f...

Finally after about 10 years i got round to getting a new cartridge so spent the day listening to records . I put the Godfathers on as one of the first choices I have never heard anyone else mention them also listened to Mc5 Kick out the jams . its like having a new music collection also really enjo...

1/12 25/25 As most of the people had gone home i went for a ride up the hills on the latest addition to the collection to see what these plus sized tyres were like in the snow a lot better than the the narrower ones i tried the day before as it turned out . https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/508778...

I have a rough idea of a route I would like to do a definite over compensation for the last year . Train to Thurso ride to Dunnet Head then across the top to Durness catch ferry to get across to Cape Wrath then back and onto Sandwood Bay for a day or two then get to Oykel Bridge to do HT 550 in reve...

Thinking back on it I did feel a bit of something going on in the other ear shortly after so I think it went straight through :wink: I personally think that night follows day so for instance if I was hoping to bivvy on the 1st of the month it would be the night after the day of the 1st . Mind you th...

12/12 for 2020 The weather forecast said it could possibly snow around 5am so seemed like the perfect night to get December done ,that was thinking around lunchtime by 5 o'clock the car was frozen up and my resolve was wavering . I loaded the bike convinced myself it wasn't that cold and I have boug...

I was hoping you would spot it . Yes it's what they were made for they regularly pack up the sidecar and go out for picnics all year round I had met them at a Norton owners club run didn't know about the Brough. There is another bloke around who use a Vincent Rapide as his daily transport he does ca...

Merry Christmas to everyone .
Its been a funny old year but this place has definately had an effect on my mental condition .

As it was a beautiful crisp morning i thought i better go out and enjoy the conditions up the hills and look who i found having a break and a breakfast with a view . https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50759123892_007aab7625_z.jpg IMG_20201225_115640957_HDR by Kevin Hawker , on Flickr I thought that...
