Thanks for taking the trouble to sift through all of the year's entries Phil. Can't have been easy but it's certainly much appreciated by us BAMmers!

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...

11/12 for 2020 This Bivvy a. Month thing is starting to remind me of the school holidays and homework leave it untill the last minute, that's two successive months I have got it done just in time . The November one has been the most difficult to get done both this year and last year but after readin...

What am I missing here? Outside of tier 3 you can travel for leisure and stay overnight with your household or alone. Just not in other people’s houses or hotels. You can social with up to 6 people outside. Nothing wrong with a bivi. As far as I am aware we are not in any of the tiers in England at...

That's a good read Trep just what I needed sat in the warm trying to convince myself to get out for a practice this evening .
Now where is everything

10/10 for2020 I had hoped to get out for another bivvy before the end of the month but it's not going to happen so I will have to fall back on my night out on the BB200 . Things didn't go according to plan as I got lost in the dark on Hay Bluff and ended up in the wrong valley but it was a very nice...

Andy I found the locked gate at a house called Middle FFynonou I went through Sunday morning after shutuplegs had had a chat with the owner the night before ! There wasn't anyone around when I went through you would have gone through Saturday morning not that far from where you started and before th...

Well that was an experience I was doing ok until I missed the bridleway off Offa's Dyke the Garmin said I was on track even though I had my doubts I got to the ridge when the arrow suddenly split from the correct route so I had climbed much higher than I needed, amazing sunset over Pen-y-fan as a co...

I let the gate get away from me at the grumpy farmer's which set the dog's off noticed that I was being watched but when I went to the correct gate to head up to the house he disappeared . Made a complete mess of navigation trying to find the bridleway from Offa's Dyke in the dark plus GPS was doing...

Started from Builth about 8 this morning sitting at a cafe in Hay now . It's bloody tough missed the track quite a few times so if I finish it will about 250 but it's been a fantastic day . Contemplating Right for Builth left for what looks like a wall . Middle whatever it was have now got a padlock...

Thanks macinblack I feel a plan coming together oh hell

If I have enough dry weather to finish the job I am doing at the moment I hope to set off towards the end of next week from Builth Wells early morning in the wildly optimistic hope that I might get to Crickhowell for late food . I know most of the route after the much discussed track/river to beyond...

Well I am baffled had a look and the files are huge compared to everyone else's and compared to my other posts with pictures . I did the usual process upload to Imgur then using BBCode for boards and forums copy and paste them to the forum post . I will remove the pictures until I figure out what ha...

Thanks for that Bob I will have a look to see what I did . I used Imgur and thought I did the same as usual but it was a long day and late at night .

9/9 21/21 The weather forecast said that the weather was going to change so as it was warm and sunny i thought i better make the most of a free weekend after a lot of deliberation i decided to go to Clun and make it up from there another late afternoon start saw me head up towards Bury Ditches somew...

8/8 20/20 It's been a bit busy this month so a bit late with the August report although it was September before I got back .. Along with quite a few others this month's BAM was the viewtastic WRT . I met P Sling at some friends of mines place near Llangurig who kindly supplied parking and quantities...

I quite fancied trying something different, strangely a feeling brought to a head by some very fine bottles of beer and an itchy trigger finger . the mounts are not a problem i have a welder
