daffers... bring a large bottle to keep water at the tent with you, comes in handy... I'll have my stove and kettle for cups of tea and such (the only luxury I cant live without!)... and the half a tent offer that I made to Vicki still stands if you wanted to save some space.
sounds like the way forward to me... only tent I have is a large 2 sided job, like two tents joined in the middle with a porch... if you want the other half you're welcome... save some space on the bike!
looks like a go-er... it's not a work weekend and if that's the case I can drive up whether it's a kid weekend or not 8) (very tempted to leave child-like responsibilities at home )
I'm not working that weekend... so long as I can get a baby sitter... I think I'm the wrong side of the M25 to catch a pillion ride off anyone but I'll happily drive to met up 8)
