I'm confused!
Are these for American or UK wheels?

Re: Tent advice - Lunar Solo
Interesting I'd avoided them in the past on the basis that they're too small for tall people. But there is indeed conflicting information here For those above 6'2, do you find the side walls to be sloping down in your face? Particularly when raining or windy. And if it's not 100% flat do you find y...

Re: Tent advice - Lunar Solo
From reading the above posts, it looks like there may be a lot of variation in sizes between them. 6'2" is too small. But mine would easily fit someone 6'6" in a thick bag. Flappy v not flappy. Bath tub floor v not. Maybe the final 'cuts' of material is not very accurate. Or again, maybe j...

Re: Medical cirtificate of fitness?
I have had a few, but in France. It's a basic check-up. Make sure the doc names the sport you are going to do. And any other sports such as scuba diving etc that you may want to do as well. It usually has to be done within a year. Main problem is that some 'Frenchies' refuse them if they are not wri...

Re: Tent advice - Lunar Solo
I have one. A few points worth mentioning. The advertising shows it as dark forest green. Mine arrived as bright light green. Which stands out in most areas I have used it. Not happy with that as I do a lot of wild camping. The zip is fragile and am I not sure it will last long. The bathtub floor is...

Re: Andalucia - Winter Sun
2 years late but nice post.
Just doing some research as I am down here now. Looking for a route. Only problem is - in the hills it's about 2°C at night. And my 4 season bag is big. Days are great though.
60kg?
How was Thailand?

Re: Rasta in Morocco.
Hmmmm! Your comment could be interpreted in different ways.
But a bit of a coincidence, as I had some scorpions for lunch yesterday (Spain).
The zappings were on a different trip a few years ago.
Also, the bird that puts its food on the spikes is a shrike. Butcher bird.

Most bags have side zips. Can't you just turn 90°?

Re: Rasta in Morocco.
Just got back. 3 1/2 weeks of winter sun. First couple of weeks were great but then I ended up having a lot of problems with the police. I'll post separately on that. It wasn't a pleasant experience and you need to be aware if going out there. Have a read of this - https://www.pushbikegirl.com/nr-82...

I did this a few weeks back but it may be a bit short for what you want.

Cliff cave by Hola Siesta, on Flickr
Paid cave accom. But I am claiming it, as it was a tough sandy offroad trail to get to. A cave, up a cliff, overlooking the Atlantic. The building is the kitchen.

Lizard spiked by Hola Siesta, on Flickr
There is a bird that stores its food on the end of spikes in trees and cactus. Sometimes they are still alive. Next to this lizard are a couple of crickets still kicking (batting) away.

Re: Rasta in Morocco.
They both lose. Spider is super fast. Wraps scorpion's stinger up. Then bites it. Game over.
BUT scorpion grabs two of the spider's legs and doesn't let go even when dead.

Which side of 20 degrees C?
Temps are misleading. When you are in the sunshine then shorts and tee. Nights are cold. I haven't seen a cloud in 2 1/2 weeks.
