Really like this picture :)

2/2 we all had a meal and a couple of beers aswell as some hilarious conversation which included a " did you know if you press your phones on button 5 times it send an SOS emergency call", oops ,someone tried it (no names) it worked and the look of sheer surprise on his face (and a "...

Sounds like a good idea!

EDIT; On mobile, the pictures appear to be cut off! Yeah - happens with me too, but they're fine on a big screen. Looks like you've got the hang of this bivvying thing though! Yeah, I'm loving it Scott, I'm not ever going to say I'm proficient as the bivvys go on, but I guess "managing" w...

Hey up, Been out for a play with some more of you guys and had a great time! There's a lot of firsts for me every time I go out, this first was sleeping in a bivvy bag (mostly because I don't own a tent since the guy on eBay kinda messed me around! Anyways, I've attached a couple of pictures for you...

Hey up! I really enjoyed it, great to meet more fellow boners and have a good laugh mostly at Johns expense... I'm glad I haven't got a tent, forced me to bivvy out. Which was nice!! I'll deffo bring my penguin pyjamas one bivvy. They're too comfortable!! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7882/46465203...

That road is normally very quiet. A lot of land thereabouts is owned by the Graythwaite Estate; pink "private" signs everywhere. If you're worried, you could always stop 1km to the south, then follow the footpath up towards High Dam, or find somewhere off a bridleway in Grizedale Forest; ...

Pretty sure everyone on here will have jibbed over plenty of gates and bivvied in not strictly legit places. Just try to work out how likely it is that someone might go through it in the morning, and if you can be arsed listening to someone being an arse if they do. Brilliant, Thanks for the input....

Feedback is good, whether its positive or not....

I have watched quite a lot of your videos so far...I think the only negative I have is that they make me want to get out, but not having so much free time is hard!

I create a route, save as private, then download, upload to Komoot and then edit away from there. I'm a paid up member of Strava until April, unsure if I'm going to keep giving them money or not, if I can't download it as a .gpx on free, that would make me re think...

Will be good!

If you where to see this en route to your final destination but you have seen on Google Maps that there's plenty of trees to get away enough from the road and lights from cars to bivvy out , would you go around the gate and head up there anyways or would you consider not and finding somewhere else? ...

Nice one! Thanks for that - I enjoyed it :)

and it just hits me like a REALLY slow train, tooting its horn for 30 minutes prior to even seeing me, whilst shouting continuously out the window "get out of the way" ...it doesn't HAVE to be meter by meter the TCW...forward in any direction to make it work is an option.

Such a great video! So inspiring, and you can actually feel the pain they're going through.

Yay

Thanks Stuart:)

New Calendar! by Escape Goat, on Flickr

Due to work limitations, a day would be great....If logistics could work out well!!

slarge wrote:there's plenty of people who have done it in a day - fastest time is a smidge over 10 hours, so doing it in 2 days would be relatively straightforward - if you average 5mph that's 10 hours a day. It's quite possible if you pace yourself.

I would be tempted to do this in a day for sure....

Nice write up there!

I use this. You can turn it on from off straight to red and goes all the way up to really bright.
