Food bags - Lansinoh breast milk storage bags look quite good - they have ml graduations on the side and everything 🙂

What happened to the other 9 - did they get eaten by the Orcs?

Mrs TJ got hungry and they were slow

I got some of those the other week when the were on offer in Waitrose very nice indeed too.

A nice idea for the WRT for a pick me up on the second evening I am thinking 😀

Not sure about the second night, Im thinking both nights 😀

too much weight though 😉

Aren't you meant to be high up in the Beacons around now Pete?

That's later this afternoon

Put all the gear together last night and Im sure it weighs the same as my bike empty so I've decided to not worry about it and just get used to the fact it weigh's a ton and take the nicer things in life.
At the end of the day for me WRT is about even enjoying the view and taking our time if we dont make all the check point so what its about having a laugh with ya riding mates for me...

How's the family Flatfish?

will you be able to make it later??

I'm with you there Bigface0_0

wunthousand fivehundred 😆

Bigface you've hit the nail on the head ... although the WRT is hard to define, the one thing it certainly isn't is a race 😉

As much as we all strive for light kit, my old black Inbred weighs rather a lot (ask flatfish) and sometimes it has made things a little tougher (like when it caused quad insertion strains and I couldn't walk for 2 days 8O) but it's never stopped me enjoying any and every trip I've ever taken it on 😀

I think bikepacking should be a combination of fun and adventure, enjoying the scenery and experiences along the way.

What mountainbiking used to be like without the pressure of doing it as fast as possible all the time 😉

Got my kit together for this afternoon - 3145g, inc food 8)

Well I think Ian just urinated on your bonfires chaps.

Haha indeed he does, but my big clothing weighs twice as much as his 😯

I look forward to seeing this stripped back kit.

I've removed a few unessentials and am now down to 4.5kg 😉

LOL, it remains to be seen how comfortable a nights sleep I get or how hungry I am in the morning 😉

Go on Ian, give us a kit list run down 😉

I'm sure I'll have some morsels to spare I'm not going to starve 😉

I'll be there pete. 😛 have you got nibbles and wine for tonight?

A hip flask of single malt and some shortbread 😉

may pinch one of the girls easter eggs though 😀

Ian can suffer with his too light weight kit and we can have a party keeping him awake in the process. 😈

Top plan 😆

Go on Ian, give us a kit list run down

Food
Co-op Cous Cous
Ainsley's soup
Noodles
Porridge
Chocolate
Tea bags
Hot chocolate
Peanuts
411g

Haven't included a hip flask actually, will have to see if I have room...

Very nice ... you'll be in utter luxury, enjoy!

Ian, with a Moonlite bivvybag, PHD Minim Ultra bag and a Balloon bed you could get another 500g+ off that list 😉

From Tuesday nights outing on Cut-Gate, Derbys-

[IMG] [/IMG]

It was absolutely beautiful. I was testing my full C2C kit (exc. food) if anyone wonders why I seem to have a lot of kit for a one nighter.

I had a great session on the sewing machine last night and made my first frame bag. Really pleased, its nice and secure and should hold all the bits and pieces I had previously just zip-tied to the frame. The great thing is I managed to butcher and old fishing rod carrybag for the cordura so it only cost me £2.50 for the zip.

[IMG] [/IMG]

We are having our WRT kit practice session on Monday so I'll report back with final weights and photos!! How exciting 🙂

Bag looks well Anthony ... cheap always a bonus.

Bit of a PSA now ... some pages back someone asked where I got my Force Ten Helium from for less than £100, well they're back at £95 http://www.fieldandtrek.com/vango-helium-100-tent-783126

I just got one, thanks

I spent Tuesday night under the stars.

Here's a video of it....
.....I thought I share in case it inspires someone to go out while I'm gone....

Great stuff! It's inspired me to maybe do a little video thingy of this coming Sunday's Dartmoor bivi 🙂

I dont have a video but i do have a hammock...

(Slightly too much gear but it was just a test trip)

That looks bloody early in the morning 😉

Awesome trip last night thanks Ian and Flatfish great fun.

Stuart that pic was around 7am, Ian found us a superb bivvy spot at altitude 😉

Tents! NOOOOOOOoooooo! So wrong! Were you expecting torrential rain & swarms of locusts or something? 😉

Seriously though, looks like you guys had a great time. I'm looking forwards to my Easter bank holiday weekend bivi tomorrow 🙂

Hey no tents there!

IanB's tarp in front and Flatfish's Rig7 tarp with a pole to hold up the one end as no trees where we were to lash a line to. 😀

We had a great time and the ride home was sublime this morning.

OK, here's a quick picture summary of our short Brecon Beacons trip:
