easy, bungee right up to the grav rail, and cargo net a sleeping bag on top of it. Or buy a rentec rack and spread the load. Its a piece of cake after a few attempts

Bungees and lots of em. Easy.

When required I can fit a two man tent, ground sheet, sleeping bag (albeit a 'proper' camping one that rolls up really small), tent pegs & enough clothes for a weekend away in my rucksack.

Whilst I'm not sure of the exact capacity of said rucksack it certainly isn't massive & whilst riding it sits nicely on the pillion seat cover (covered of course to prevent any scratches etc) which takes most of the weight.

It's a lot less hassle than messing around with panniers or (God forbid) a topbox !!

For this years AR I am able to confirm that we'll be turning both left and right (at different times obviously); going up & down hills !!

the M1 turns left and right, it also goes up and down

anywho, i was kind of put of with the comments that the roads were crap down in esexy, i have never been, so im going to see for my self, and TBH i dont remember and of the roads being that good last year, (although my memoreys not what it was) and i still had a right larf....... im a bit disapointed that some of the people on here i have met, and would consider close freinds are not going.

Yes Hovis, it is a real shame that some people have decided not to go

And AR10 in mid-Wales may be a good idea. You volunteering to organise it?

Don't withhold your booze stash from me paul!

Do tents end up getting trashed and disposed of at AR or is it safe to bring one I'd like to see again?

Bloody hell dave it's not quite global gathering I was in a bad way that weekend lol. Thinking a nice cheap tent from millets for £30 to £40 quid...

Or.. Would anyone judge me if I drove down in the car and brought a 10 man tent & hired rooms out on the fly? (cockburns finest reserve port & bank cards accepted)
