Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
:oops: :smile: just look upon Reg as the village eccentric in this village of eccentrics - he's probably the one sat on the seat by the pond, straw in mouth, leg swinging, cider in hand, cowshit on dungarees, watching the ducks. This village is made what it is by everyone in it and ain't like nowher...

Re: Monks trod - wtf
Since motorbikes and 4x4s can already use the Claerwen reservoir track, if the objective is to create a trans-Cambrian route for recreational 4x4s and trailbikes, wouldn't it make more sense to create a ROW to bridge that bit from end of that byway to the Ffair-Rhos road than to resurface the entir...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Thank you Lee, and other wellwishers . I'm getting worse as I get older I'm afraid. Eh? Wh-what? Er, yes, yes nurse, I'll come quietly. Please can I have an extra biscuit with my cocoa tonight?

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Nice one, bit different. You could have taken a bunch of daffs for your truckers caff table, that would have baffled them. Reminds me of the time eleven of us spent a WRT night on the verge of the A44 outside the George Borrow at Ponterwyd. I reckon my left ear was actually touching the tarmac :smil...

“Nice one Centurion, like it, like it!” (dungeon prisoner, Life Of Brian). Or is it centenarian? No, that’s not right. Anyway, whatever, 100 Bivvy a Months in a row then. Maybe there's some sort of bonus attachment for the Four Seasons Legion badge? A “bar” perhaps, or some gold stars, like they hav...

Reg I went to the Nijmegen and Arnham gigs. Looking to see where they are in 2025 as Gigpacking in the Netherlands rules above all else.
they are West Ham supporters so can do one.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon. Chatted with my pal at the Council about how he's going to spend the £1m we managed to wangle for new cycleways and footpaths around the town, so that was nice. Based on the rates for HS2 I'd estimate that £1M will be enough to construct nearly 12m of new cycle...

Yep, well remember it Kev. It was refreshing to see the German commandant and guards portrayed in a, for want of a better word, sympathetic way. Anthony Valentine was suitably chilling though! Strange to think the situation was only 80 years ago.

Re: How long does it take for your mat to lose pressure?
I fancy injecting a good old-fashioned BBB digression in here. I reckon the "lower temperature causes mat to deflate" story is similar to the "hot drink warms you up for bed" story. I'm not convinced by either. "Adding a hot liquid to your body does increase your body temper...
