I could go set up saturday after first job then come back and do 2nd job then go straight there when i finish sat evening. Then i get nearly 2 whole days and if it turns to shit i can come home. Camping Everything Is Fine GIF by Kel Cripe

So you're going to stay in a tent in the middle of Winter?

Tents can be very warm and cozy in the winter.  The snow is a great insulator. :littleguy:

I spent a week once in the mountains during the winter and loved it.  Hope to do more very soon!

@gymwitch If you're going to windermere, there are about a gazillion hiking shops in and around the town ( or there used to be) and they often have sleeping bags "on display" so you can get a look at the size and shape. They are also usually full of helpfull info, once they have understood the parameters ( weight being less of a problem on a bike then when backpacking for example). Though I guess you need a bag before you go up there...

I love the lake district, I grew up walking the fells every summer cos we had no money but an aunt who had a B&B in Ambleside... 

 

should imagine there is a few Hiking shops left if there was a gazillion of em .

Never understand that.....I think maybe because tent people freak out those non-tent people......😆

Judging from the content of this thread Id say that must be true 😂

Mind you I was booking up the ferry to bring the bikes back end of June and found myself booking nice apartments with a kitchen, a washing machine and a wide screen tv rather than campsites 😆 but then Im a bone fide fair weather camper and who knows what the weather will be doing then..

It doesn't freak me out......it's just that I can't see how anybody could possibly enjoy that.

It never appealed to me when I was younger either!

The only issue I have when camping is keeping the bitches out of my tent at night.

Dont camp so near HoeJoe's Truck Stops.

Ordered the lowering links from lust racing. 60 squid thanks very much. Getting those on before i drop this poor bike again. Also upped the anti down at the gym. Sod this for a game of chequers. Im on it. 

Nottaking full responsibility for the last drop but im not going into that just yet. 

The plan so far....

Lower bike.

Fit a centre stand. 

Get a sleeping bag.
