Retrobike Touring.

I've just gone and tried it - yes the canister fits easily, but the lid won't go back on.

Thanks again Hamster!!!!!!!!

My set up has been decided. Just need to plan my route and then off I go.

Sorry nothing about cooking set ups, just a couple of random pics. The GT got stolen, so now we use a 28" Scott instead.

I have got time off work, a weekend pass from my Wife for good behaviour, all gear purchased. Bike awaiting a few tweaks.

Route planned Fordingbridge/Fritham/Bolderwood/Burley/camping at Holmsley on the first day. The second day I shall play it by ear.

October 22/23rd - Just hope its not too cold

No such thing. Just the wrong kit.

I am looking forward to it whatever happens

One final request for advice from you all

All equipment together, tested, packed and unpacked several times, 2 days routes around 25 miles each day mapped, one overnight camping site sorted.

One thing I would like to take is a fold up chair, I have an old 3 leg style fishing type one but at 1kg maybe a little too heavy/big.

I am not weight obsessed, I am just a bit of a minimalist.

Any recommendations ?

I bought one a few years ago from go outdoors not cheap but perfect. Strong enough to take me. Very light.

I'd suggest a minimalist wouldn't take a chair!

Good one

I'm a lax minimalist with an old back.
