I completed at the northern winter bivy. Will go for it again next year :)

I had 23 bivys last year though, was greedy during the warm summer months

I'm going to try and take a few photos next year as I don't think I took a single one of any of this years bivys at all...

Me :D
Jan - El' an Back
Feb - Lakes with Yetiman and Hux at the Terra Nova convension
Mar - Calderdale in the Snow
Apr - HTR attempt with Stu
May - WRT
Jun - Dales with Yetiman
Jul & Aug - Tour Divide Tour
Sep - Alpkit Bimble
Oct - Ceulan Swingers night
Nov - Dales 250 rece trip with Yetiman
Dec - Winter/Tornado Bivi

Pushbike Mike got 12 in a row back in September.
Also think Yetiman got out each month, but that's been a coincidence.

Lots more people did 11/12 just missing out on the full set and there seems to be a load of people signing up for 2014 8-)

Does this count? My boy Finn relaxing after our 30km towpath ride to a campsite. Not exactly the Scottish Highlands but we will get there one day though he won't be lugging an iPad, that massive sleeping mat, inflatable pillow and camp chair. The Quavers will probably be non-negotiatble.

Sadly even if this counts that would still be a no … only managed 8 nights out this year and I thought that was pushing my luck.

Nope, failed here after a reasonable start. I don't really get out for the sake of a bivvi and simply haven't done any proper long or weekend rides since the end of the summer. Hats off to those on an 10/10 or more run : )

I was doing OK till September then the wheels came off with work related issues for the remainder of the year. Been away with work since November so December would have been a complete write off anyway! I'll be having another crack at it in 2014 as I did enjoy the challenge of matching weather forecast, work and family time to make the often less than 24 hour rides work out. Found some nice riding in Wales that I wouldn't have found any other way - often prompted by routes and info from here. Thanks all!

Have a great Christmas and New Year :)
