Default Re: What you taking??????

I always take my little gas lamp... very handy, it makes light you know but also it makes some heat, which is a godsend in a tent if it turns out wet. And if you have any spare levers etc it's worth bringing those, all it takes is to knock your bike over in the field and that could be rideout over otherwise or alternatively, riding home for hundreds of miles in third gear...

And my cowboy hat, in case it rains. Or suns. Or snows or hails. But not blows obviously. Last year I just kept on my goretex bike trousers, my waterproof jacket and my hat, and I was impervious to all known weather.

No, don't tell me... you'll be getting your mug filled in return for other favours?
