Oh dear mobile error
Retrobike Touring.
- Thread starter Trebz
- Start date
@doctor-bond I have just about given up with the blow-up mats - they always seem to leave me cold and achey at 2am having deflated. Back to the classic yellow Karrimor (3/4 length of course to save weight 
)

Need some help/info/advice for anyone that has stayed and ridden off road in the New Forest.
I am planning an overnighter before my surgery - probably early October and staying at Acres Down Farm, are there any recommendations for routes mainly off-road, disused railways etc. Not looking at travelling too far, more of a shakedown and toe dip.

One final piece of kit needed before my first mini Tour early next month and I need some opinions/thoughts - again 
I need a small cook set as I will be travelling light, just an overnighter so just food for the evening then breakfast the following morning.
I am not looking to cook anything adventurous just some dried pasta mix, beans and typhoo etc.
Mug/pot needs to be large enough to fit a small gas canister in, a fold up gas burner, lighter/matches/sponge etc.
What do you all use ?

Jetboil is most economical on gas and perfect for a little overnighter, with two packets of noodles, a couple of kitkats and an apple for dinner. Breakfast is a boiled egg in a roll. And lots of tea!
Lightest is probably a Trangia triangle and a mug pot. I get impatient with the slowness.
The stock Camping Gaz twister or any number of similar gas stoves are OK, but they need to be well-shielded or they waste loads of fuel.
If it's anything a bit bigger/better on food then I would go for my MSR Whisperlight burning Aspen 4T...or my trusty 25 year old Coleman 550B Peak1 - with Trangia pots and kettle.
I think that proves that there is no single right answer - I've collected this miscellany over the years. They all do the job and none is perfect. If starting from scratch today I'd go for a cheap Jetboil copy from PlanetX or Alpkit.

Split the trangia and use the pot with everything inside it.
