Packed in a very very similar way to JohnClimber on Monday night!
Went up to Higger Tor for my first ever bivy bag experience (I normally Hammock). As a limbs-out sleeper, I was worried, but the Hunka wasn't too restricting. Although it was overkill on the hot night.
Managed to pack enough on the bike that my backpack was left at home - much nicer when on a road bike ime.
The climb up past Stanage
Glorious sunset
Bivy spot
Superb sunset and a lovely view to wake up to too.
Will definitely be back.
Tested quite a few things - first CX bivy, first bivy bag, first use of a little Alpkit stove, first use of the Wildcat Cheetah, first use of the new Wildcat tapered and double-ended dry bags.
Everything was rock solid as usual. The deep shape of the double-ended dry bag was perfect for the drop handlebars and rigid forks, but I'm dubious about it on my flat-barred FS bike.
That red glow from my water bottle isn't some kind of blackcurrant energy drink, but peaty water from the stream nearby (Burbage Bridge) in my TravelTap filter
