… met office says it should stay that way….

Stoner Jr put to bed. Quick glass of wine with Mrs S, then grab a bag and Im going to bivvy out on the malverns tonight I think. Beans for tea and a bottle of wine in the rucksack…

No idea how it will go without a bivvy bag, but Its not far to walk home 🙂

see you tomorrow peeps 🙂

*makes scary noises*

Sounds cool! 8)

(Hang on! That's the worst excuse I've ever heard for a spot of dogging !!) 😯

Do the conservators allow bivvying? 😀

big black clouds hanging over the NW Alps atm, so i'd take a hat!

You're gonna get wet and freeze your bollox off mate.

Still, if you find others to share your baked beans and bottle of wine with, you might be able to all huddle together and stay warm ….

Bivvying without a bag? How's that work then?

Take some light reading stoner 😛

I bet he's "bivvying" in one of the local watering holes.

I think he means without a bivvy bag.

pub stop.
well done SST 🙂

"do the conservators allow bivvying?"

an 80L rucksack liner for the bottom half, with a thermarest tucked in the top to do the upper half. Wrapped up in all my layers. Snug as a bug. Could have done with a hat, and did have to sleep with my head inside the rucksack for a little while during a short shower 🙂

Hats off stoner, no better way to start the day

great walk home at 5:00 with the sun coming up over the Vale. Got in just after 7:00 and the Mrs had the coffee on.

coffee just as the early low cloud was blowing away.

What's wrong with your wife?

Nothing by the time I left just before 7.00 🙂

I wondered why it wasnt my usual coffee cup….

walk home?? no bicycle?

walk home?? no bicycle?

not last night. Fancied a walk. Change is as good as a rest etc.
Its only 6 miles to the end of the hills where I wanted to camp and I wanted to make an nice evening of it.

That looked a really fun mini-adventure. Lucky you, and hope you enjoyed it.

🙂

'twas.

already planning the next one.
Got to be careful though.
Which is worse, the Mrs thinking you're having an affair when you're just sleeping on the hills, or the Mrs thinking you're nuts sleeping on the hills at night when you could be having an affair? 🙂
