Re: Winter Bivvy?
I appear to be tied up 16-17 now, can probs still make next weekend. There's some shelters (3 sides and a roof, but concrete floor) in Thetford Forest (you can see it from the red route), and indeed in their playground areas you could probs camp down somewhere. Could almost ride round during the da...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
... and I'm out. Could barely stand-up last night, so thought it was a bit much to attempt to ride a bike.
Roll on next year.

Re: Todays walk
Went for a lunchtime wander to try out the pinhole camera I bought earlier in the year. Only 5KM, but am now totes knackered... 😞 https://media.bobarnott.com/pixelography/2023-11-30-pinhole-1.jpeg https://media.bobarnott.com/pixelography/2023-11-30-pinhole-2.jpeg Only took six shots, which is what t...

Re: Winter Bivvy?
We should maybe start its own thread then. I was thinking about contacting Wicken Fen to see if the basics campsite was available; open sided shelters, a fire pit and a composting loo. Meet at Cambridge Station, do a bit of a ride, camp, brekkie at Maglia Rosso, then either back to Cambridge or Bur...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
Aye we all do 'placeholders' when life gets in the way. Nearest wood? Graveyard? Barn? Good luck with it Bob. Shame to miss one. @Boab that's really unfortunate. What's your work pattern the rest of the week? Can you cosy up somewhere close with a flask of lemsip, suitably fortified? The original p...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Feeling like I'm starting to get over a virus that's semi-flattened me for the last week.
Didn't spend any money today either.

Re: Are you analogue?
I'm definitely an analogue (in my own way). Don't know how to adapt/change much when it comes to tech. Today I was told I need to send an uodated CV as work is scarce. I've tried to go and edit using WORD or PDF but both are paid versions now. Stuck trying to figure out how to make a simple word fi...

Re: Do you like choice?
I was talking to my wife about the tyranny of choice the other day. Totally paralysing... Take paint, give me the choice of A or B and I can make a decision, give me 16.2 million colours and I have no idea where to start. Also feeds into the fear of failure: if I have too much to choose from, as the...

Re: Are you analogue?
I'm in a quantum superposition, both analogue and digital. Some digital things are just better and more convenient, but also have no soul. Analogue on the other hand, fragile, wear out, can be a complete pain in the arse, but I wouldn't swap for the digital equivalent.

Anyone from the flat lands fancy an East Angular Winter Bivvy...? Boab...I'd be up for that assuming dates work out. I've always enjoyed the winter bivvy, although last years welsh one got snowed off... Anyway, I'm in East Anglia (Bury St Edmunds way), be interested in tagging along. Have to say, t...

I'm going to give this route a bash next year; there I've said it, can't not do it now. Can't see me getting round anywhere near that fast though!

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Fitted, and test ridden. Most likely threaded one of the bolts, as they appear to be made of cheese. Also looks like I need to service the clutch again after the repeated dunking on the BB200.
