Bivvy Season.

The Welsh Ride Thing rolls out of Forest Freeride this Saturday, 60 brave soles heading for the hills for a couple of nights under the stars and over 100 miles under their wheels. The WRT always heralds the start of the summer bivvy season so if you fancy giving it a try then why not book yourself on a weekend. You don't need any experience or fancy equipment (we'll supply you with anything special) all you need is a sleeping bag and some way of carrying your gear.

Bivvy out weekends aren't a race paced route march, they're far more relaxed affairs ... after all you don't need to get back before it goes dark as you'll be carrying your bed with you. Some people worry about the weather, particularly rain but there's no need. Everyone carries a tarp besides their bivvy bag which if erected well, will ward off most bad weather. If things turn out really horrible then we head for a roof and four walls, almost bivvying indoors.

If you like the idea but are still a little unsure, feel free to get in touch with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
