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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

OMG that means I accidentally did that right the other day without realizing?!?

Or this? Have heard good things about it.....

Some say I'm a gobby cow... others just a wordy mare.... So you'll be pleased to know you're being blessed with the shortened version, as what I wrote last night doesn't seem to have uploaded.... My early February bivvy a month was my belated dam busters attempt, postponed due to illness, last weeke...

So cute (how do I reply to posts??!?!) - oh you mean I get a badger at the end?! In that case signe me up for three biviies a month

Hi, I'm new here and still trying to get the hang of this forum... haven't fathomed out how to add pictures to this yet either... will send them to you Stuart by e-mail as proof.... I'm not even that keen on the whole badges thing, but I love the idea of bivvy a month. Anyway, my January one was mea...

I'm in please
