Not sure it would be sensible to take my last minute panic weekend and schedule to be away. Surely the answer is to pack before the WRT and don't unpack until you return from...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024

Excellent stuff Neil and Dave. Sounds like you were fully immersed in fun of the "Type 2" variety there .
Down socks: I completely agree
It was a pleasure to meet you both and (of course) thanks to Stu & Dee for all of their hard work .

Static in a field?
A full charge?
Or perhaps a low drift velocity due to unexpected resistance?
Did your weekend live up to it's potential?
Feel free to tell us about it here...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
...This lasts until Jan hears the bubbling of brewed coffee when he shows me his arse for the final time and then heads off to his food bowl... Just record the sound of bubbling coffee, then play it back to the cat at your convenience and reclaim breakfast harmony for yourself :d Cats are parasites...
