Brighton does it best!
Beth Hardwick posted this on 13th May 2010
Last Sat Sam and I took the kids and my niece and nephew to the children’s parade to start the Brighton Festival. It was FAB! The noise, colour, Fancy dress, effort, variety, creativity… inspiring. It made me think how much we will miss this area….
But then, it hit me….. Bivouac can do a children’s parade!! We don’t need Brighton to have all the fun…. We’ll do one ourselves!
So I am going to be going around all the local schools and seeing who I can get involved for this annual fun of colour, music and celebration of children and new life. Hhmmm hope the Northerners like this idea……. They might just think I am a Brighton nutter!

Mini update
Beth Hardwick posted this on 13th May 2010
Ah it’s been ages since I had some childcare and had the time to get stuck into Bivouac again. My jobs list is HUGE now and I am trying not to feel overwhelmed!
Things are all progressing well… we are are almost ready to submit a huge application for planning permission and we then will get stuck into the detail of the nicer bits.
Us Hardwick’s now move on site in the next 6 weeks.. and this is going to be a big change for us. So… the journey continues. Wont be too much longer before we can reveal a lot more about what we are up to…..

Woodland Bivi
Beth Hardwick posted this on 13th May 2010
I’ve been thinking about making some Bivouac shelters in the woodland where our first site will be. These shelters will be available for anyone wanting to head out of their shacks or tents for a night and experience true Bivouac life….
We’d give you a rucksack packed with the essential items you’ll need.. and you do the rest. Find your bivy spot and nest up, learning about who you are in that open air.
I was sent this picture yesterday which I thought captured this very well….

Canoeing Adventures
Sam Hardwick posted this on 04th May 2010
Yesterday I finally did a kayak trip that I’ve wanted to do for quite a while.
It was my first UK paddle of the season… I paddled from Barcombe Mills to the New Haven Estuary in East Sussex. It was a fantastic trip!
I have been carefully watching the weather and the tide times… at 16.00 yesterday conditions were looking perfect… There’d been quite a bit of rain upstream from Barcombe, High tide at Newhaven was at about 14.30 and there was a strong behind wind. I was on the water at 16.30 and the current picked right up and went in my favour all the way to the estuary. It really reignited my love for paddling moving river water.
I can’t wait to get up to Yorkshire and do some canoeing with these guys… http://www.triitoutdoorpursuits.co.uk/ They are a local adventure sports company that we hope to work with for the provision of some of the adventure sports that we’ll offer at The Bivouac.
