I spent the night with two women!

Yes that's right, I spent the night with two women ... SallyH and Emma. Riding round the hills of Wales is pretty much normal for Sally these days but for Emma it was her first time. We didn't do big miles with it being Emmas first experience of bikepacking and Sally nursing an injury but we still had a great time, which after all is what it's all about


Here they are nearing the top of a rather long climb ... a climb that's broken more than a few folk over the years.


All set up and ready to get a brew on ... you wouldn't believe just how windy it was.


Obviously it'll be no surprise to learn that 30 seconds later the socks were on fire!


View from our overnight spot on Sun morning, still windy and cold but no rain which I was rather happy about.

Is that the Inaugural winter bivi spot?

It is indeed, any avaliable shelter from the wind was most welcome.
