Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
What's your state of mind this morming Bear? Mildly peeved at my mat deflating (I think it was a valve issue that was easily sorted once home, but less so in the cold and dark). Beautiful dawn chorus and sunrise though, a mug of hot chocolate in bed, and then down the hill to the Danish bakery. I s...

Re: Bike Abuse, Am I bad?
If you're regularly travelling to ride in different locations, it's worth considering the benefits of cleaning your bike to reduce the risk of transferring plant/animal diseases from one area of the country to another.

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Aye, looks very deluxe. Do you carry all the kit up every time, Jeff? Or does the hut now have some permanent fixtures (e.g. the grill)?

Visions of Dave heading down to his allotment for a quiet morning indulging his new pipe smoking routine, only to be confronted by Reg and a merry band of BAMmers nestled in the potting shed.

I've got some Kyotes going spare, say £15?. If you PM me your address I can look into postage costs.

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Good points: • A beautifully clear night, with stars and a gorgeous sunrise • Nice beer* • The bakery on the way home Less good points: • Forgetting my cheese • Sleeping mat has a slow puncture • It being frickin' freezing • Rime blowing off the tarp and onto me, my kit, my hot chocolate… Pics: http...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
The EPS turn into buckets as soon as any water gets in via the big hole at the top. I've got both Goretex and regular Trailcross. I use the regular ones with waterproof socks. The socks keep my feet dry, the shoes don't get waterlogged and dry out much quicker than the more freeridey 5.10s. Downside...

That's brilliant. Took kid 1 for a falconry experience just before Christmas, they had a great time.

Re: What are you drinking now?
I think I might need to call in some professional help from, appropriately, Bearlegged or somebody. I'd love to help, I really would, but I'm currently dealing with this matter from Belgium. Apparently the bar only serves it by the half, but my companion found some sort of workaround. https://files...

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
I think there's something about being open to the world that I prefer over being completely enclosed in a tent. Quite happy with a mesh panelled bivvy to keep the teeth away. I should maybe look into a bigger, more versatile tarp ( a la Reg), but I've got a consistent set-up for now, that I find ver...

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Of my last 15 bivvies, I've not taken a tarp for 3 of them.
For those 3 bivvies, I've been snowed on, and rained on twice. And yes, I did check (and triple-check) the forecasts. FFS.
