Random petrol wastage

<< < (3/3)

i never take anyone with me, and never had to spend the night anywhere. well, only once, and that didnt involve any petrol
i went out on my mountain bike, and found myself 30 miles from home as it got dark, with no lights. no wallet, no tent and only a waterproof coat for shelter  :shock:
at least it was the middle of July. i ended up sleeping in a hedge and cycling home the next morning. I did have a mobile phone, so at least my parents knew where i was :)

Glad they listened - I was doing safety cover for a cross-Scotland event once and biked into the middle of nowhere. It was a fantastic day, glorious sunshine and warm evening so I decided to bivvy for the night. Climbed a hill and phoned the campsite I was supposed to be staying in to say where I was bivvying and wouldn't be returning that night.

Ended up getting dragged out my bivvy at 7am the next morning by the search party who hadn't bothered to check the messages on the answer machine first  :oops:
