    Re: We are going on a Summer Holiday.....

    I got EVERYTHING out last night. Now i need to decide what not to take....

    I have got 3 stoves and a mini portable BBQ out; 5 torches and 2 types of candle; 2 sleeping bags; a bivi bag; 2 tents; 2 types of groundmat, 3 different types of mozzi killer; water bottles; enough tools to build a battle ship, and ??? god I have forgotten.

    The first national I took a tiny tent, sleeping bag & mat, spare pants, and a toothbrush. It all fitted in a diddy top box. Now I have nearly 80litres of pannier, a 70 litre dry bag, a tank bag and BIG top box. It will all be used

    It will be finalised and packed tomorrow for a 7am start to meet the remaining NW posse at Southwaite Services.

    stay safe on the road people, I wish I was coming but I failed to find a stand in of sufficiently similar build for Madame Moon not to notice my absence...

    Have a great time. I will be there in spirit, I just wish it was in body as well.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
