Default Re: 2019 - ride out with an overnight?

Looking at those crossing times, if it were me I'd come down on the Thursday and stay somewhere, Youth Hostel or similar. You'll have a long day the next day, and every chance of a fairly late night. Overnight in Dublin will at least give you a fighting chance of lasting the Friday out.

Maiden packing attempt. I'd made a list of stuff I'd need for pretty much all of my adventures this year, so far the inner bag on the left has 3 items in it....

Haven't got as far as considering clothing

Yes clothing would be good, the rest of us would appreciate it.

I've lost count of the number of times I've forgotten my shoes.

I know we are fairly used to it having been on many, many £9.50 Sun weekends over the years and a few euro tours but in 2017, Mrs Lom packed 17 days worth of kit for a tour round the Balkans into 1 Honda VFR1200F pannier in 8 minutes and didn't forget a thing. Respect

Suitably impressed I'm basing all of my packing on having to carry sleeping bag so I should really have more space for my trips before Wales.

It'll be a late decision on each trip on whether to pack or wear textile trousers

Last year and the year before my mate Mick and I took my daughters pillion on the bikes up to Scotland for a few days. With the exception of two pairs of trainers which went in Mick's panniers, I got everything my girls and I needed for the trip into an expanded tank bag!

I was trying to find a few more pictures of the routes we'll be doing on the rideouts, but I have no more relevant photos. This means, of course, that as soon as the weather warms up a couple of degrees, and the roads are clear of salt, I shall be needing to get out for a ride with the camera. Tough job eh?
