We talk about what we have learned on this tour 

I need to pack a pair of thin leggings

Martin needs one less pair of shorts

Limit the distance to sixty kilometres if possible

My knees need some longer training sessions before the next tour

Windy days are harder

Being close to nature is relaxing

There is something cosy and safe about snuggling into a tent

We don’t need so many towels – three less

A separate awning would be good for those rainy days and to give us shade

The equipment is well designed and easy to use

We need more fuel cans or a larger size as they are not easy to find in small towns

Think about a different type of cooker?

We don’t need to carry so much food at the start, rice or pasta, not both.

Put more dried foods in bottles for easy storage and easy pour



Early morning cycling is wonderful

A table would be nice but not one made of wood, Martin!
