[#1596467]

I received some Bivy equipment for my birthday at the weekend so I took my MUni for a night in the woods. I started out with my sleeping bag strapped to the back of my Muni, which was okay but made the hills hard work and the technical bits tricky, so the next day I put in in my rucksack which was much better. I had a good night, dry and warm, and awoke to a Pheasant's cry and the sight of some Deer at sunrise. ๐Ÿ˜€

All the photos were taken via the camera's self-timer.

Well done, fair play to ya for doing it alone. Where was this, as those woods look great? (so nowhere mr me)

would love a muni, but keep thinking I can't wheeley or trackstand a normal bike (lacking any sort of skill, not that those are useful skills on a unicycle), so what chance would I have with one wheel

good work!

I'm guessing by the amount of body armour you are wearing falling off is quite a regular occurance ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks all.

[b]Nick;[/b] you do fall quite a lot, nearly always land on your feet however.

Excellent stuff fella. I've been thinking of getting some bivi kit, what bivi and sleeping bag combo have you got?

Yep, somewhere on Leith.

I used Alpkit's Bivy bag and a Mountain Equipment Synthetic bag (few years old now). Worked well, I had a little wetness/condensation in the morning but it was a very sheltered spot.

Nutter! Leith woods looking nice. I "learned" to MTB there aged about 12!

I remember the 87 storm giving them an absolute battering. My nearest woods (Sheepleas) was unrecogniseable after it. Got a day off school though!
