Re: Musings on May 2018

Does your vegetarianism extend to fish and dairy as well? Most bars will offer a range of seafood and cheese as Tapas dishes. Proper veggie, no fish, but dairy fine notwithstanding a hatred for eggs.

Re: Musings on May 2018

Re: Silk bag liner?

I always wear jim jams so it wasn't about keeping the bag clean but about a warmth boost. And the option of a light audax power nap system. Seems there are ones for a tenner in eBay so I'm gonna give it a try

Silk bag liner?

Decathlon have one for only £25 that is only 110g. Do these add warmth and worth the but of extra weight? Or gimmick? And I was thinking it could also be useful with just a bivvy bag for a summer long audax brief kip

Re: Do I want a tent?

Re: Have R@pha nicked JamesO's Idea?

It isn't a bikepacking trip nor marketed as one. It is a guided cycling holiday, which some people seem to think costs too much, following a very similar route to a route that someone else has previously concocted. I don't see the issue

Re: Bunnies Bothy - capital trail

No, that isn't, and is always locked. Bunny's is beyond it, the trail going out to the right, just another few miles or so ... if I recall. It looks very similar though
