March 31st BAM 3 of 3, 39 of 39 After blowing my knee up from the Winter Event (only manifested itself afterwards), I'd not cycled for 56 days, save for a 2 mile tester to assess progress. So last night was a careful short distance road ride. Pretty much a 'get in, get the job done' and hope for pro...

Thank you Phil, excellent news

A technical question regarding my March BAM? Have just been invited to join Pam this Saturday, who is biking from Malvern to camp in the garden of our friend Shakti, who lives in a cottage at Bringsty Common some 7 miles from me. In my world I have two friends local to me in 'the sticks', both miles...

That's me blown for the year Phil, will be back to lurking around after dark by the swings and slides in the local park soon enough, not forgetting the local cricket ground, now also on my repertoire

BAM 4 Jan... 1 of 1, 37 of 37 Verging on insanity, so close to a disaster. But equally so many moments of the divine variety. Felt muchly euphoric once mission completed. This Saturday planned to test my Basha tarp in heavy wind and snow up the hills. Biked to the Malvern Hills to meet a pal at Wych...

Phil,
Any room for me???
I've been remiss in not tendering my WRT efforts, and sorry for not doing so!!
On the case now

BAM 30 Dec... 12 of 12, 36 of 36 Tarpology, more poles from Stuart, and another insignificant pitch!! My plan was to pitch on top at British Camp, but late prepping left me fighting time. Cycling to the hills I realised I might not even make the north end of the hills and would likely pitch up in th...

BAM 30 Nov... 11 of 11, 35 of 35 Tarpology Basha style Last minute jobbie. Planned to go on top of the hills and test the tarp to its max. While heading up the hills I ran out of time to camp that day, if sticking to the plan, so dived in a small quarry on the side of the hills. Glad I did cos putti...
