Nice photos as usual KT. Some might say they're rather "samey" landscape-wise, but strangely for me therein lies the considerable appeal. It's all rather soothing. None of that hectic mountain peaks business. Taken to the extreme, the Fens themselves are the pinnacle of that genre, as ment...

'A wee heating element' ... uhm, the smell of boiled p1ss. :-bd On the upside, re piss, Tim's idea still, er, holds water (ho-ho) - once you've drunk that 4L of water, nature will [not so] gradually take its course.

I guess you'd have to get the hoe nozzle below the water line and let gravity do the job. It'd take ages. I've changed my mind on this: it'll never catch on. Don’t let ‘em put you down BD!

And indeed mental breakdown as a result of the other two... or simply as a result of knowing you're carrying more than you have to

....and by Tim's standards he's taking relatively farrrrrrr less stuff than the rest of us!

Ah, there is a Hyperlite long/wide around too: https://www.trekitt.co.uk/sleep-shelter ... e-EALw_wcB

Your biggest problem will be getting hold of one. Yep. Hen's teeth. There's a Hyperlite normal width one here, 2 left: https://www.trailblazeroutdoors.co.uk/outdoor-equipment/sleeping-mats/exped-synmat-hl-m-regular-sleeping-mat__3869?currency=GBP&chosenAttribute=X7640147-769526&gclid=Cj0KCQ...

Are you quite sure about that Colin?

I reckon it's good to have Tim around to show us a different path. Makes us think. Admittedly it's a very tussocky hard work path :grin: .

Can't see any baffles (*) in it either. Once that lot starts sloshing around your bike is gonna make like one of those random-movement 'wicked ball' toy things.

(*) other than baffled looks of course

4kg.

Plus the tank.

Plus what looks like an armoured hose.

Er.

Maybe it takes a shower attachment.

Or a bath attachment.

You and your TMS, wot you like mate

Oops. You've uncovered my dirty little weight-weenie secret . Well I like it Timbo. But having two would probably not halve the speed of my mat inflation.

A modification of Dracula that I like is, sleeping on right side for example, select Dracula, roll onto right side, then move right hand down between your head and pillow such that it's cupping your bonce with the palm heel in your right temple.
