Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Apart from the frequently fascinating reports from our esteemed brother Bob Boab it seems that Boners usually head for the hills and mountains. My spot in the woods last week was only 32m above OS Datum, even BOAB should be able to manage higher than that :grin: Planned bivvy site for Saturday is a...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Everyone who's yet to get a score on the board should pick the next night with a half reasonable forecast and get out before the next storm comes through. I'm still primary on-call, so no bivvying till that finishes... This weekends forecast isn't too bad down here, so hopefully we'll get out Satur...

I'm not sure who this is, but I'd be interested in finding out what these overshoes are...? They look like they're over flat pedal shoes, if so, I could really do with a pair... Blimey - That's me! Two video appearances and I'm wearing something vaguely useful as well. I'm so giddy with excitement ...

Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
BAM, WRT, Jenn Ride, Lakeland 200, NYM300, BB300, maybe something like the Big Bear if I can swing the time off. I'd also like to do some riding in Scotland for a change, maybe in Dumfries and Galloway.

Re: Recommend me a cordless combi drill
Thanks all! I have a few acquaintances who are in the trades, and they all use Makita, which is why I thought I should ask before availing my self of the Ryobi Xmas offer. I mean, I bought a Trend router before I had kids (18 & 16 years old), and I've never used it, so I don't think I need to sp...

Recommend me a cordless combi drill
I'm in the mood for a cordless combi drill, as hauling my massive, 30 year old, corded drill up a ladder is getting old. I've already got a couple of Ryobi ONE+ garden tools, so have a couple of batteries, so the easiest thing would be to just buy one of theirs. Not wanting to fall into the sunk cos...

Just finished Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappe which was highly informative.

What bike are you thinking Boab? I can either go gravel or MTB...26er rigid is perfect for the Thetford traisl IMHO but gravel does get round fine.
