I'm thinking two or three weekends from now somewhere off the A9 corridor.
Anyone fancy it?
If you are all to much of a pussy, we could bothy it too.
I'll come if we can sleep on a bed of dust. 😉
I'm sure I can arrange that.
Before it gets crap? were have you been lately?
It's all relative.
Relative to what, I'm only 30 miles from you and its blowing a gale and persisting it down. May seem worse because I've got man flu.
Do you do "special cuddles" ?
Relative to the middle of a wet winter when you're wearing the wrong clothes.
You cant beat a bit of weather.
And now that i'm moving away from the Tweed Valley I'll be heading to the highlands a lot more. So I'll be doing a fair bit of bivvying and biking over the winter. Anyone up for a few winter bivvying jaunts?
Allthepies - not sure about the special cuddles, but i'm not against a bit of spooning to keep warm. 😉
Nobody up for a bivvy or bothy trip in the next few weeks? All wooses?
Goan,
I'm up for something, but I don't have a bivvy bag, just an Argos tent which was fine for a couple of months ago but I'm yet to test it for winter. I'm going to have a night in the Pentlands first as I can just ride downhill to my house if it's too cold.
I'm still building up my kit, ti mug is on order and am due to order a slim Airic when I can be sure it'll get through the post.
My banter is pish though.

Fancy it? Yes. Equipped for it? No, sadly. Sleeping bag is bulky and not v warm. Maybe if I sell a bike I'll get some decent camping kit.
Quite possibly up for something along those lines - sick of trail centres and need some excitement in my life (though not of the spooning / special cuddles type..).
Got the kit - might have gone mouldy through lack of use!

no-one bivvys anymore. that was last month,
the hepcats are all [url= http://jakpak.com/how-it-works/ ]jak****ng[/url]. 🙂
LOL Marty do you get flouresent arms so no Bastard walks over you
at night 😉
Just been on the web site lol seems you have to put a mummy bag inside
for the colder nights ahead.
you know im game george - need a wee bit of notice to get my self a warm (non bulky) bag though - other wise ill be doing as ive done in previous years and taken the bob yak just to carry my sleepingbag !
Goan, I'm sorry but are you insane? 😯
Its not exactly the weather for bivvying... I'm in Glasgow (like you) and its been sealskin gloves and overshoes on the commute recently...
However - I'm interested - I have a new one man tent to try out in anger 🙂
Why don't you invite Bear Grylls, Ray Mears or Ranulph Fiennes to this survival-fest? All us mere pussies and wooses{sic} would surely hold you back and get you killed/airlifted?
Mind you they'd probaly wait till the weather got really sh1te...
And p.s I thought the Tweed Valley was THE best place on the planet EVER? Why you leaving god's own country? Might not be as easy for folk to arrive at your door to respond to your fight challenges now? Suppose it depends on where you're off to. Good luck with the flitting.
>the hepcats are all jak****ng,<
In winter the hepcats find better ways to stay dry, warm, get tanked up on good food so they can go do some serious riding the next day 😉
So, any suggestions for a location? I can't do the weekend of the 14th November but am free most other weekends.
Anyone else? A post up on mtbscotland might be an idea as I've mentioned something of this ilk to a couple of folk
MussEd - due to a twist of fate we're staying here.
Where do folk want to go? the weekend after the 14th is good for me.
Am I insane, no. Do I like an adventure, yes.
After prolonged discussion with trail_rat - how do people fancy a ride in glen feshie? neither of us have been there and dont have a clue what its like - sounds perfect.
ive been there - andy toop took me for a ride there .... i just suck with recalling rides after only one ride there
LOL Nice one BillyBull
