Hang on a sec.... What he said was, "check list that I take every year". He hasn't said that he actually takes all of this stuff. ;)

Been camping for 60+ years, about 45 of them on my own transport.. I know how to load a bike !!

Table and chair put together weigh 1.1k, both roll up to the size of a rolled up Sun newspaper ( Not cheap to buy but needs be and all that jazz )

Why do you think we have a tag ! Need the 1.2t carrying capacity :)

Ahhhhh... but have you carried milk on a bike for a thousand miles ? I like yogurt but not in my tea..........

Oops... Another thing to add.. some tea bags !

And Smash is SOOO important.. Mix up some smash, while still in pot dump a tin of corned beef in and a tin of beans..
Full meal with only one pot to clean and ready in five minutes
And as a bonus I really like instant mash :)

Smash, beans and corned beef. Remind me NOT to share a tent with you....!! :ambulance:

I snore and fidget like a snorey fidgety thing as well !!!

Sometimes we just pull off the autobahn in to the woods and plot up... no shops, garages or people :)

Mind you. with the return of wolves and brown bears to Germany we are very cautious nowadays

I went out and filled the Gaslow this morning in readiness for our off (whenever son’s woman decides to de-sprog) paid 59 ppl (y) and reading your post I’ve realised I forgot to go and get it weighed. It’ll have to be Tuesday now. Then I’ll know for certain what my new payload will be as the gvw is now 4100kg.

It’s generally mid 60s around here, but our local Calor agent is always lots cheaper and only a mile or so from home.

Good point.. We have a calor depot in Cruy St Edmunds, but it is a 26 mile round trip ( so 1,26 gallons of diesel ) makes it cheaper to buy the dearer stuff local )=
