latest sleeping arrangements


Well I've finally decided to use the classic tarp and bivvy setup rather than my modified bivvy tent design, this will save weight as I won't be carrying an additional pole. I just hope that the weather treats me well for my first endeavor in ultra light weight camping!

Training and kit

Well...
Just got back from Hunstanton (sea side resort) after a 74 mile round trip. This was my first extended trip of this sort and has taught me a lot. My knees are a bit sore, but apart from that I feel remarkably good! I definitely need to get my touring tyres soon as its is noticeable what effect my mtb tyres have on riding such a distance. I also have recently bought my bivvy bag and roll mat (alpkit.com) and shall be getting my sleeping bag in the next few weeks.
All seems to be going well but I'm still nervous about the trip itself, hopefully I'll be ready for it.
