So a week on Thursday is the Inaugural Nuit de Bivvy Internationale.

Night Ride.

Pub stop.

Then back out for the night.

Prizes will be sorted for peoples best inspirational photo of their bivvy spot.

Best write up.

Cheekiest bivvy spot.

Heres one from last year to get the juices flowing 🙂

points deducted for ugly bikes in shot ;o)

ooohhhh, sound fun

*breaks out map*

I live next to a pub. Normally I make it home before falling asleep, but I could try knocking back a few more to try and pass out on the grass.

anyone doing or fancy doing one in the chilterns?

points deducted for ugly bikes in shot ;o)

Fair point, it not mine anyways 🙂

mendips anyone?

Mendips bivvy sounds like an ace idea. Failing that, IanMunro's idea has a certain charm.

Pub stop is optional if you want a wilder experience btw.

Oooooh, I like the idea of this… now just to work out where the hell I can go bivvi which is nice and still close enough to be able to ride into work the next day!

Still hunting down a car so I can get down.

Anyone up for central London? Blackfriars or similar? Hell, won't even need to bring a bag, just find a cardboard box. Thought not…

Well Bivi bag ordered so failing heading south I may come up with a ride up North.

Sign up is now open ;o)

I'm set and ready to go. 😉

Just got to find a nice cave that's big enough to fit sheldons belly in. 😆

Here's my 'arouser'

Still waiting for me bivvi bag. 😥

I've got a spare :o)

Excellent
I bought a Hunka seconds for a tenner at Mayhem.
I still haven't christened it so this might be a great excuse

Ah! Well if I head that way and it's not come then cheers in advance Dave.

I can't do the 23rd, can I cheat and head out on the 22nd?

I can't do the 23rd, can I cheat and head out on the 22nd?

There is always a "suspension of disbelief" clause in the media. So yes, I think cheating in moderation is allowed.

i need to christen my hunka too… hmmm.

Anyone fancy top of Cadair Idris? I've always fancied spending a night on top.

Well, best laid plans…
I can either bivvy for a half decent nights sleep with a group from work, arriving by canoe on an island at midnight…Or can paddle solo a mile further, collect the bike and then head for my choice cave – meaning I would get there at around 1am, ready for a 6am start back to the island to paddle off with the group….hmmm

First choice cave:

Hope you've got a bite proof bivi bag 8)

You manky scots git….whats he gonna do, nibble yer bum?

Anymore takers?

Much better

scouring google earth now, looking for a place where the Chinese Army won't arrest me for doing something (we think) that is quite normal 😀

think i might find myself a spot up on the lincolnshire wolds. there are a couple of places i have seen but this might give the nudge i need to get out and do it.

anybody fancy joining us up on backwell hill near bristol for a mass covert bivvy? GR for those intrested.

Myself and Scratch will be getting rained on somewhere in South Wales tomorrow night. I can't wait!
Is it just me or has the news item associated with this been taken off the front page?

looks like it, no idea why though

I can see it at the top of the homepage?

Like sleeping rough? This might be for you…

It's on baby :o) Bag packed just need coffee :o)

Bivi Bag, fleecy liner, thermorest, ti mug, water, espresso machine, whisky, camera, pillow, stove, bike, lights, riding gear all loaded in the car and ready to rock n roll.

Just need to book some weather :-0 although we have a cave booked 🙂

Weather is perfect here, I have a spot picked, gear been packed for days but parents have messed my plans up as need to be there first thing tomorrow demolish some trees for logs. Now not so tempted to sleep under the stars getting very little sleep and then chop up a tree or two.

Two potential sites spotted whilst riding on Sunday, kit packed to sound of falling rain here in Devon and I've just realized no matter what I try and loose the basha just won't fit in the pack.

Berghaus Mach 24 pack with army surplus bivvy bag, sleeping bag, stove, steel mug, brew kit, muesli pre-mixed with drie3d milk for breakfast, mini jaffa cakes, pump, patches, tube, multi-tool etc, torch. I won't share where as to say it's cheeky is an understatement…….
