Always do a trail run before a big trip, last year I was heading from Edinburgh to Fort William on my YZF R125 with oxford sport pan's, tent, bag etc etc .....

I did a try run from Edinburgh to Loch Earn to spend the night, and decided to ride back to Edinburgh at around 1am in the morning through midgie swarms that ate me alive in my helmet....

The bike was overloaded and packed wrong, and to my embaresment, I couldnea work out how to put the tent up in the pouring rain in the dark at Loch Earn.... It was a dismale failure, but a lesson learnt.....

The week later I arrived in Fort William, packed well, tent practised, food, beer and everything packed.... If your heading to Scotland, rem good footwear to walk in though.... that was the one thing I forgot...

OH and a roll of duct tape cant go wrong! It will fix everything

I asume your heading to the Highlands in Scotland?

Cheers, Steph.

Ha Ha Getting her to sleep in the tent was one thing, getting her to carry it on her back may be pushing it a little!
