Intents windiness

I do wonder whether it would have seemed less blowy had you remembered your tent pegs?

didn't notice the Time vortex Wormhole forming in the right corner while I was there. :?

I forgot this one (and sorry for the poor quality).

Even though we didn't stop riding until after 11.00pm and it was cold, AW insisted on playing Chew and myself a good night lullaby on her harmonica while we got tucked up. I think you'll agree it was a very generous and selfless act ... anyway here she is just tuning up.

Original Winter Bivvy Spot!

Why don't you just leave a cache up there?

It's got DoE crawling all over it in summer ... maybe I could leave a severed head in a tree or something

Any Diesel helicopters this time?

it looks like fun times all round. Sorry to have missed it this year!

maybe the worm hole vortex in the corner may have had something to do with the bearded lady .
I think jase took a picture of her.

This was taken just after we had been following a lone bike track which out of nowhere came to an end with now other tracks insight?? baffled

Our bivy spot just outside Carno

A great decsent to the old lead mines

A well earned beer to finish off at the Star Inn

Brilliant pics, cant wait for the next one - well maybe I can wait for the 200, but the next slightly more laid back sociable one :)

Frozen socks

Nice spot

Spar in Llanfair Caereinion



Cold arse coming up!



Had a great time despite the cold, everlasting night. Really chuffed to have won a "Gnorm the Gnome" prize too.

Thank you Stu and Dee for another brilliant event.

So, so jealous of you all

Great event - thanks Stu & Dee. I was the last man back... still had tea and cake :)

I've created a blog to cover my ride & preparation here: http://richmanning.blogspot.co.uk/

All of my photos are on there! Hope its OK to post a link rather than photos!

Great write up that was. You did some miles there, and not easy ones at that

This was my first bike packing trip, thoroughly enjoyed the views on Sunday morning.

Nice write up Mandicky. Those highland cattle gave me a bit of a scare at first Saturday night as a couple were right beside the road.

Highland cattle tend to be very placid even with calves unlike dairy cattle with calves which can become aggresive. Even so, treat with caution if they have young with them.

Great stuff there! How did you find the battery charger? That looks like the exact sort of thing I need. :!:

Battery pack worked well. I stuck it in my frame bag and ran a cable up to the GPS. Oversized for this trip but compact enough... :)

Some excellent photos from the weekend, looks like I missed out on a good one

vaguely exciting picture will.

I'm writing up my report. Anyone got a picture of the official Bearbones mascot? (Stu in the suit) :)
