No.

I feel the need to watch Wayne's World again now...

Should the BAM Oversight Committee* be considering measures to help those who can't bivvy due to Covid-19? Maybe a system of Universal Bivvy Credits for those affected by travel restrictions or self-quarantine?

*Largely self-policing, no one seems to be too draconian, ooh look at those pandas!

Having been doing yoga for a bit over a year now, I've found that my core strength has improved, and this has led to much more comfort on the bike (whereas previously I'd develop lower back pain and sore shoulders from hunching too much).

It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the w...

"Falcon" by Helen Macdonald. I've got "H is for Hawk" to go at once I've finished it.

I'm stealing that one.

I've got one. I suspect the limits of its usefulness are dictated by my ability to put it up (or not) rather than its quality (which seems fine and dandy).

As someone with very nesh hands, I could be interested. Any idea which model they are?

The classic combination of crap weather and life getting in the way meant that I needed the leap day to fit in a last gasp dash for a night outdoors. It was already dark when I left home, and the blue skies of earlier in the day had been chased away by Jorge, who brought squally showers with him. Un...

Yes. It comes to us all.
