Can you show me your tarp pitching ideas using only the bike for support?

Have a small 2m x 1.45m tarp if that makes any difference.

unless you're a midget, you'll get wet with a 2m*1.45m tarp...

I find just using to cover the bike up outside the B&B is the most satisfying method

Restless you'll find some tarp pitching ideas over on the Bear Bones forum. There's a recent pic of bike/tarp set-up on the classifieds and some other diagrams, etc elsewhere.

Ask Mark about the Bikamper, that's the reason he's grumpy.

Hypothermic in July :o)
