Bloody hell! I have'nt given any thought to stoves or cups or anything like that? What are others doing? I was thinking of perhaps just doing the liitle chef/McD's thing because my luggage space is limited to a tailpack and rucksack?

[diamond]

I usaually only eats crisps and chocolate any way. :D
and i find several packets and bars can be neatly stowed in the average jackets many pockets. I'm sorted.

Last year i found a pretty good site that had a shop, so thinks like cans of drink etc where on tap. In the evening, well one of them we rode into Busxton and had 'pub grub' then back to the local pub (carridges, very odd place!!) until closing.

If you are one of these, 'cant start the day without coffe' people, then you may need a small stove etc.

Me, can of coke and a mars bar does me.

That sounds like what I was going to do...I find it too much of a schlep to still carry stoves and crap for an overnighter... :idea:

Last year we took a stove and didn't use it!!

Hey Viney that pub was bizzarre

[Quiff Wichard]

Well I'll be holding a pint glass with beer in it, whilst eating a pub dinner. :wink: :wink:

Hmmm, reading this I've just realised I've got five tents in my house... and only one of them isn't mine! :roll: I blame too many years of camping where my need for comfort has advanced with my years. Therefore the tents have got bigger.:lol:

To be honest, out of all of them there's only one I'd actually want strapped to the back of my bike and that's the one I specifically bought for my jaunt to Scotland next month. OK, it was expensive (£130) but it's like, squeeny! :P
A substantial one man tent, with porch for luggage storage, and yet it packs up smaller than my 'compact' sleeping bag does! :shock:
I've kind of regressed back to my early years of roughing it.

One tip for those of you are coffeeholics, take a small thermos flask with you. At some point on your trip, when you stop off for a Little Chef or McD - buy a couple of extra coffees and put them in the flask. That way you'll have one ready when you finished putting up your tent.

Either that, if you do want to take some form of stove for boiling water (good for those 'spaceman' style meals inna bag) pop down your local army surplus store and get a solid fuel stove. It's about the size of a large packet of cigarettes and should contain enough fuel blocks for an overnighter. That and a tin cup will fit inside a small saucepan = all you need. :wink:

Maybe this will be a good time to remind everyone that camp fires are not allowed in this camp site :roll: :roll:

Oh the fun!
