Re: Bivvy a Month 2024

Went to the village pocket park, which is less than a mile from the house. Less cover than I was expecting, but then it's mostly deciduous trees. I realised when ...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Apart from the frequently fascinating reports from our esteemed brother Bob Boab it seems that Boners usually head for the hills and mountains. My spot in the woods last week was only 32m above OS Datum, even BOAB should be able to manage higher than that :grin: Planned bivvy site for Saturday is a...

I'm still primary on-call, so no bivvying till that finishes... This weekends forecast isn't too bad down here, so hopefully we'll get out Satur...

I'm not sure who this is, but I'd be interested in finding out what these overshoes are...? They look like they're over flat pedal shoes, if so, I could really do with a pair... Blimey - That's me!

BAM, WRT, Jenn Ride, Lakeland 200, NYM300, BB300, maybe something like the Big Bear if I can swing the time off. I'd also like to do some riding in Scotland for a change, maybe in Dumfries and Galloway.
