Re: What does the word "Bikepacking" mean to you?
The song "running to.the hills" by Dan Owen kind of describes it nicely for me. Obvs cycling instead of running.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Cheery Friday and posts about dogs, that's quite fitting....not feeling quite so cheery right now after not much sleep, in the garage on a sofa that's too short...almost like bikepacking .....daughter found a stray limping sheepdog on way home from work last night, so we brought him home. He started...

Re: WTD - Lightweight Stove Solutions
I thought I'd see what the Army's Fire Dragon stove was like. They're cheap as chips, small and lightweight. The fuel blocks are some smokeless bio fuel that you can use to clean your hands too. Overall it worked well, but the blocks were expensive and individually plastic packed so I won't be usin...

Re: Bivvy a month 2020.
May... I've been very disciplined up until now, but with all that gorgeous weather and some signs of lockdown slowly easing, I could resist no longer... Just 7 miles from home, lovely little ride with a nice bit of climbing, one of my favourite straights across the common, and the night spent in a f...

Re: Looking ahead - what are you looking forward to?
To be honest, I've been really enjoying staying local but getting out probably more often than I would have with more distractions around.... Have cobbled together a bikepacking route round Mid, West and South Wa!es, hoping to do that one week in the summer if and when we're allowed. Then hoping to ...

Re: WhereYouAre Ride Thing 2020
Great to read all of your mini adventures, sadly I came across all of this too late otherwise I’d have loved to have taken part. Same here! Meanwhile I've been hatching a plan for a little adventure of my own, to replace my holiday on Anglesey first week of June, which I can't see happening.... Wit...

Re: I Don't Know What They're Saying But
Hilarious. The cheesy song goes something like "I love riding my bike, repeat, repeat, when those other idiots are stuck at the red lights, I'm free to ride on and they can kiss my arse, etc etc" . Setting a fine example.... Then brief glimpse of absolute legend Rudi Altig, my dad told me ...

Re: So it's come to this ...
FFS, I've just spent much of the afternoon sitting. In an armchair. In my lounge. Reading a NEWSPAPER. The garden has a every single seed removed, the beds have had straight edges cut with military precision, and I've bought one of those horrible plastic greenhouses for growing tomatoes. Thank goodn...

Re: feck it. I'm sleeping outside.
I stuck my tarp in the garden last weekend. Wasn't as great as expected. I was bathed in the light of the street lamp on the footpath at the back of the house and I woke up freezing!! :???: Yep, have had all of that, it's crap isn't it? All those street lights, and my husband "kindly" kep...

I'll sometimes use the bike bars as a "lifter". Helps stop the upwind part of the tarp from blowing in on you
