Re: Bivvy a Month 2024

try the tfl River Bus Many years ago we took the kids to Greenwich and part of the journey was by River Bus from Charing Cross. From there down river we pootled along at about 1 or 2mph, sorry knots, or something, a bit like a floating brick, pointing out all the sights etc. Kids not all that impre...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024

I do wonder about the company you keep V :???: Just read V's report and my head is in a complete spin! A right sensory and incident overload there V, top work. Hiring 8 bikes in a row is a clever idea. Reckon the adjudicators have got to let that BaM through simply for the lunacy value. Chalk it up...

Top effort with the fundraising Neil - that's a nice thing to do on a BaM. Looks a good spot too, bit like an eagle's eyrie looking down on the scenery below. At night, probably an eerie eyrie too. And, er, when you next bivvy in Snowdonia no doubt you'll find an eerie Eryri eyrie :smile: . Shut up ...

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...
