Don't enter the dining room! There appears to have been some sort of explosion in there.
It may look like an unholy mess to the uninitiated but I prefer to think of it as 'Work in Progress'.
Every available square inch of surface including the floor is covered with the essential ingredients needed for an extended cycle Tour, or rather with what I as novice think I may need for an extended cycle tour,
I suspect there is a big difference between the two!
I suspect there is a big difference between the two!
I estimate there is room in my panniers for around 60% of the 'essential' items currently littering the room. In the absence of a medium sized van and support driver I have some decisions to make.
In the unlikely event that my tour is successful and I reach Andalusia some time around the end of May I expect to be baking in the heat of a Spanish summer. Contrast that with the current weather in the southwest of England (I'll be cycling for 2 days and camping in Devon to get to Plymouth for the ferry) and the dilemma over clothing choice becomes apparent.
What to take?
Or more importanly,
what to leave behind?
The good news is that my 'To buy' list is down to 1 item, a bog standard 1.5l water bottle to fit my extra large Topeak bottle cage is proving difficult to find.
My 'To do' list is dwindling niceley but the weather isn't conducive to ticking off 'mowing the lawns' so that may just have to be delegated.
10 days to go, back to my packing.......
