Flatfishy and Norms magical mystery tour.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Three days, two nights and no idea how far. The weather was superb considering it's half way through March, no rain and just cold enough to keep you riding ;)

Image

You wouldn't believe how much down there is in this photograph! Flatfishy and his winter palace ;)


Image

My lovely Lair with bug net inner ... very comfy it is.


Image

I always think it's a shame that there's hardly any legal riding in the Rhinogs.


Image

It's much higher than it looks ... so we decided not to make it a WRT check point :shock:


Image

It got surprisingly hot on the second day.


Image

It also got surprisingly misty on the third day, as you can see from this picture of the 'RAB Brothers'

If I'm honest gairy, no we didn't ... it was just more of a 'lets go this way and see what's there' kind of affair ;)

I think your dice idea would work better. It'd give you more options, eg odd number = left, even number = right,
1 or 2 = left, 3 or 4 = right, 5 or 6 = straight on ... I'm sure you know what I mean.

Anyway I think Flatfishy was starting to get fed up with my 'it's just over this hill' and 'I recall it's pretty flat from now on' lines ;)

Looks like you had a great time. Makes me want to get out there. But I am paralised by indecision, oh and OUT OF STOCK on most of the stuff I need.

Like the Bivi set up any chance of a little review? Bivi Tarp etc on my need list.
