Weather forecast is suggesting leather for Fri/sat and textile for Sunday

On the hope that the longer range forecast is the typical fantasy forecasting I'm going leather, I'm not packing both

Was briefly considering giving her a wash, but if I do that it'll definitely rain, so I'll take one for the team and not bother

Is anyone bothering taking a lock / chain? I was going to put my big chain in and then looking at the stuff I'm taking started thinking I'd like to save a few KG and leave the chain at home.

I'm gutted, as the weather looks perfect.

Sorry again guys
Shame but you have to think about your well-being and safety. They'll be another time.

I'm packing my waterproofs just in case. This is Wales after all!

I've never bothered with a lock and chain in any of the places we'll be visiting. You certainly shouldn't need one up at Bunkorama, it's fairly well out of the way, and we'll be mostly within sight of the bikes everywhere else.
