Mandy had a Moderna booster yesterday and is feeling a bit shit today, so no getting out on the bikes for us I think.

You had one job..........!

Last year was mad, so hopefully this year will be slightly more sane! We're hoping that travel restrictions will ease and we'll be able to visit family and friends back in the UK and have folks visit us. I think that a new bike is on the horizon!

Cotton liners are an essential too, definitely. Extra layer in the winter or on it's own in the summer. I used to take mine if I was staying away in hotels in the summer too. So many hotels put a duvet on the bed with no top sheet in summer, so you either roast with the duvet or freeze without it. I used to take the duvet off the bed and sleep in my liner, which is much more comfortable.

I'll second that, Bob. My snugpak sleeping bag is still going strong and packs down reasonably small and keeps me warm at night, unless it's really cold out. I've only got the 3 season rated bag as I don't see me camping in the middle of winter!

It says that it's rated up to 135kg?

No, I'm afraid not much point these days........dry bag probably sums it up perfectly!

I got one of these bags too. So much easier to pack and find stuff in than the traditional roll-top drysacks. You don't have to pull everything out of it to find the thing that put in first and then discovered that you needed! https://www.lomo.co.uk/acatalog/motorbike-drybag-holdall.html#SID=83

I don't know if you already have a camping chair, but we bought a couple a few years back and they were a godsend for additional comfort outside and even inside the tent. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trekology-YIZI-Portable-Camping-Chair/dp/B07NT77GT8/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B07NT77GT8&th=1

I spent years travelling for work and spending endless nights away in hotels........the novelty wears off after a while.

Yes, in better times!

From before I could afford a top box!
