Friday 25th April 2025 I’d had a week off up in the Lakes and decided to kill a few birds with one bike ride home. I could do April’s Bivvy a Month, keep up my 100 mile per week average and complete the Everesting in April Strava Challenge all in one fell swoop. Perfect. I set off an hour later than...

Nah, it was weirder than that.

April bivi done. Rode towards home after a great week off in the Lakes and headed into a nearby Nature Reserve. Despite a weird incident where someone with a very bright headtorch seemed to be searching for me then found me and then buggered off 🤔 I got a reasonable spot and some sleep. Up before da...

Saturday night's jaunt: ‘Are you going or not?’ I’d professed to be unsure but really I had already decided on the basis that Bolton had won, Roverrs had lost and it had been sunny and warm for the last two days. Plan A was to head up on the moor and bivvy next to the cairn as I used to see a guy ca...

Not much room on the top two landings, plus I’d have had to
lug my bike up a very tight staircase or two. There was maybe enough room at the entrance but it reeks of pee there!

Friday 21st February 2024 I was still aiming to complete the Bivvy a Month challenge so was keeping an eye on the weather forecast for any opportunity. It had been either freezing cold or freezing cold and wet virtually every day. The ride to work was a challenge in itself, so when I spotted 2 days ...

It was an otter mistake.

So is mine!

I’m still in. 2/12 done. Did a tour of the moor and decided to drop down lower and head for shelter. Literally a shelter! Known as the Bandstand (but it isn’t). Will do a report in Mostly Coasting next week.
