Re: Removable arms..... for side sleepers

A modification of Dracula that I like is, sleeping on right side for example, select Dracula, roll onto right side, then move right hand down between your head and pillow such that it's cupping your bonce with the palm heel in your right temple. Anyway, wot you worried about JC, I've always said tha...

Fabulous! I'll bet they'll remember that for the rest of their lives. Really makes this a Cheery Friday! "The only respite came when a bottle of beer fell from the Benno and, miraculously not breaking, rolled down the hill and stopped under my tyre. I made a note of the deduction to Dave's pack...

Yep, seen Sapphire & Steel but not all episodes. Very quirky. Very slow-burn. Doubt many people these days would have the staying power to watch it. Trying to avoid spoilers... I think I remember one where they ended up trapped in a single room in space? I had nightmares about it after seeing i...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021

Top stuff. Worth considering shunting a bit more kit out the back (seatpack/harness) to balance the front end. Maybe you already have and it was just a quickie outing so you bunged it all up front to save time, in which case: :smile: . What've you shoved where, out of interest? I like the caged pot ...
