Not long now before we are hopefully bathed in bright sunshine and blue skies......its on the way!! :)
Anyone making plans or have plans in the making for getting out and about a bit more.
Any shiny kit you need..... or want to buy......any kit you want to modify or improve on......including personal wear.

On a personal note I am still trying to find a permission.......a woodland....or copse to hide away in :rolleyes:
Most of the land and woods are owned by large estates.... or is common land around these parts.......close to home.
 
Plans :

More Bivvy camps - 26th February - world record bivvy attempt
More lightweight overnighters especially in the Cheviots
Continuing with my trig point challenge
Possible week away in Lakes or Peak district in May
Possible Cleveland Way ( maybe not continuous but in legs ) by end of this year
Weekend away in Robens Fairbanks ( Kendal Calling July )

Kit wise :

x2 Robens Observer chairs
Rab Vapour rise Jacket and trousers
Goretex paclite shell
Altra Lone Peak 6 trail running shoes
 
Excellent list Rob.....both out and about...... and kit list :thumbsup:
How many legs do you think it will take to complete the Cleveland Way?........nice approach....no pressure.....will @Bopdude be accompanying you?
Hope you enjoy the Fairbanks when in Kendal :)

I've kind of done the middle section so might start at the end to the middle and then do from the other end to the middle ...... I will try and plan my overnights close to a suitable watering hole .....
 
Definitely making plans for getting out more😁 more fishing more walks and more overnights… want to get fit and lose this big belly 😂 no dates as yet so it will be mostly off the cuff trips 👍🏻
