Any ideas for what to do NYE that's fun/different but doesn't involve pubs/bars?

In reply to jules699:

Go on a microadventure and bivvy out under the stars.

In reply to jules699:

Climb a mountain, bivvy up top and wake to sunrise.

In reply to jules699:

Twister

In reply to Tall Clare: I'm liking the bivvy ideas - keep 'em coming everyone. Thanks!

In reply to jules699:

Cycle to the coast with a plan to arrive for sunrise and a breakfast.

In reply to jules699:

Play twister in a bivvy without getting pissed?

In reply to jules699:

I did the Welsh 15 peaks over New Year and was bivvying on Y Garn.
It was minus 15 from what I remember. Lovely clear night and you could see fireworks in every direction.
There were two tents from memory on the sides, but I slept on the summit in a alpkit hunka and mountain hardware lamina 0 on a M E five season mat.
Very memorable and a good challenge (I was in good shape and well prepared). Stocked up in Nant Peris and dropped off rucksack for a day sack, after getting up and making breakfast, seeing sunrise from Elidir Fawr.
Ran down from Snowdon to car in Nant Peris and got back for a family New Year's Day dinner

In reply to jules699:

Watch the sun set on a beach on the west coast then drive to east coast to watch it rise.

In reply to jules699:

A bothy is always good for New Years.

In reply to David Barratt:


But take a tent as a back up.

In reply to jules699:

Have friends round, eat nice food, play with lego

In reply to jules699:

do what I'm doing and work?

On a better note, bivvies/bothys sound pretty good Need to try that some time

In reply to jules699:

Find a snow covered hill and climb it, dig a snow hole/build an igloo and drink lots of cocoa. All night. By candlelight.

In reply to jules699:

Mega session under the duvet. :-D

In reply to jules699:

We're prob off to dartmoor, take some good food good booze and hope for a rough night weather wise.

In reply to Tall Clare:


What's that then?

In reply to aln:


It's like a mini-adventure but in a Nissan.

In reply to jules699:

Thanks for the additional ideas. Will play the bivvy idea by ear subject to weather. Thinking of a comedy club as a back up....

In reply to jules699:

night walk above a city with a camera. Photos of the cityscape by firework lights at midnight, followed by the bivvy or camp if you wish?

In reply to jules699:

There's that cave up on Laddow, which would make fine spot. Several caves just below Wimberry crag, Robin hoods Cave on Stanage, however that one can often be a joint share, etc....

In reply to Tall Clare:


I read that as "Under the stairs", which I suppose would be a good alternative if the weather is iffy.

In reply to jules699:

Go bivvy on top of Snowdon, i did it for the millenium was fantastic...

In reply to jules699:

Magic mushrooms

In reply to Oldinio:

Your a couple of months too late boyo

In reply to dapperdan:

Not in mehico

In reply to jules699:

Go to bed early so that you wake fresh and ready for the New Year?

In reply to jules699:

Go for a swim in the sea! (at least that's the plan, either for the evening or the day after...)

book a last minute deal on teletext and enjoy your trip

In reply to johnj:

Caves below Wimberry??!!

In reply to jules699:

Yeah in those boulders just down from the main face there's maybe a couple of bivvi spots, you'd just need to have a hike up and take a look.

In reply to johnj:

cool - ta!

In reply to jules699:

Did you decide what you're doing for NYE in the end?

In reply to xplorer:

Well given the weather patterns lately; yes. Comedy club night in Manchester How bout you?

In reply to jules699:

Well I'm out filming a mountain bike team today, so probably editing for the next week. I was planning on a couple of days in the Peak District. But I'll probably do that towards the end of next week instead.

In reply to xplorer:

Cool!

so what did you end up doin?
