Have you considered carrying compostible bags and a poo box, like snowholers do in the Cairngorms? A screw lid cylinder should fit into a large stemcell/fork bag. I find locating a good place to dig a deep hole more stressful than the act of disrobing. Not heard of those before, shall take a look, ...

Missing a lot of canal towpath around here

Great read over a brew this morning, thanks

Thank you for the kind offers. Yes, #trowel, but when you have less than a minute or two to find a suitable spot, dig a hole, undress and squat (hoping it just goes in the hole and not everywhere else - hope you’re enjoying breakfast!) then feeling utterly drained for the rest of the day, and having...

I really like Simon and his videos, it’s a shame about the campfires

For Bears there’s not much talk about sh*thing in the woods here! I’m a long time sufferer of chronic IBS and was wondering if there are any others out there that struggle with it and if so if you can share your tips and stories. For those that really don’t know much about IBS I’ll explain it to you...

Great news, having seen and dealt with the fires and wildlife destruction they cause a total ban can’t come soon enough

I’ve been blocked in a work area before by some numpty dog walker parking in front of a gate, as we’d been working on the saws all day we were all knackered and short of patience. Luckily in the back of our Hilux we had a few strops and shackles (been using them with the tree winch). Sadly the car o...

I pulled some of the dam apart

Must remember me shotgun next time

*holds hand up*

I own a couple of Peregrine jumpers

Another option is 'hanging around' the LHC without being 'attached' to it - same route so bumping into each other now and then. The LHC could even end up doing similar, who knows - a subgroup hanging back for a bit or whatever. On my first WRT I joined the LHC of about ten riders, but on seeing the...

Most important tip I can give is……. Take plenty of pictures for us please!

As it passes within 5 miles of my home in Ludlow, I can see this being modified to incorporate more off road…. Thanks for the heads up 👍 will download the Strava gpx tomorrow Once you’ve sussed a more off-road route do you mind sharing it please? I think it’ll be a nice late spring 2/3 day bimble f...

Anyone attending any of the talks? I’ll be dipping into a few, first off is Barry’s talk tonight at 20:00

Heh. You should give a WRT award in her name “The xxxxxxx award for most innovative bivvy spot”

Don't know if anyone's had the 'pleasure' of reading the post on fb but someone questioned her, saying that they thought her stance was odd given what she does ... she now wants to sue him :roll: Where on Facebook is this?

Must. Not. Buy

+1 for BBC and (surprisingly) the Met Office for being not too accurate. Been caught out by them both a few times over the last year (at work, not up a mountain thankfully)

Pretty much the spot where I proposed to my ex

Oh jeez Ton that’s heartbreaking

After that, make up for "lost time"!

Everything crossed for her. My mum just been told that she has cancer, so hope we can both celebrate cancer being defeated next year

Wish I lived closer so I could bring a few saws and help out.

I know it may not mean much, but from down here in the West Mids I’m appreciating all the graft you’re all putting in, I can’t even begin to imagine how exhausted you all must be

I walked the one bit that Bob describes as super steep. Rode the rest with one or two dabs Pretty much my experience. Went to Uni in Bangor, so we’d do it quite a lot. Virtually cleaned it to the steep section after the bridge. That was mid-90’s though, so maybe more eroded now. I’m a poor show rid...
