Re: Bivvy a month 2022
@ Reg - yup...it couldn't be any worse than winter bivvy 2018 eh? Well maybe BB200 that year...or Braunton a few years before that...or the infamous 2015 winter bivvy. https://vimeo.com/148850259

Re: Bivvy a month 2022
It's been far too long since I got out. Maybe this will be the kick I need to seek another 4SL badge. A bad case of the CBF's blew out Friday and a slow start meant leaving home after midday on Saturday. The big tarmac rollers started just outside Petrie and kept putting up 60-120' climbs all the wa...

Re: Magpies.
Folks in Brisvegas ride with zipties pointy end up on their helmet to keep the magpies from swooping. Seems to work as they go for me instead. Had a couple of pecks on the helmet since I've been back. Crazy look though the whole zip tie helmet thing.

Working too much...decided it was time for a treat... Ooooooooooooooooooooooh those are just lovely. Ride report ASAP please. Yeah...they're well plush. Going from 680 to 760 makes a big difference for me. Yet to dodge sticks with 'em where you have to adjust for being a bit wider, but a quick spin...

Re: Any 3D printerers around?
My brother has 3 of those things....the SKGo is a monster. But the one that's really impressive is the resin printer. It makes nice Joystick mounts that if properly cured, are pretty decent. Under 300 quid for a semi-decent resin printer.

Re: Best trail / multitool of all time?
Hexus II goes with me on every ride. Chain breaker is functional and has saved me on trail more than once. Like it that it'll do my lockon grips with tiny hex or my Eggbeaters with a large hex requirement and a good mix in between.

Clowncore - Van. How did I miss this album? Going from hard electronica to grindcore to fluffy Kenny G style jazz in the same song...that's a thumbs up from here.

Re: Multi-Scale Guitars...
Not played one...very happy with normal fretting on my Schecter. Get a Parker and don't look back. I'd trade my Omen6 'and' Les Paul in a flash for a nice Parker Fly from the 90's. Currently settling for the poor mans version - 2004 Hornet.

Re: For those who use Exposure lights.
When my MK7 Joystick was new, I got 5 nights worth of approx. 6 hours each night on the mode 3 low setting.
The current model seems to do the same but double the output (200L vs 100L).

Fair cop Reg. I just remember when I started sleeping in hedgerows...I didn't know BBB existed, but it was good to get out and gain the confidence. It was a couple of years before I started visiting mid Wales and meeting other like-minded folks.

Not having riding buddies is what is stopping me doing a proper trip more often... Nahhh...that's not it ; ) Get out solo...even if overnight. You're missing a trick here.
