  3. Look its camping on a bike your supposed to be minimalistic, I'm sure a 20m 16amp extension and then the rcd protected strip at the tent end will hardly take up any room. There is no need for such things, led camping light, gas cooker, need to dry your hair? Ride round with your visor up lol. Start off with what you need, see how that goes then you can add things where you find gaps.
  4. No you can spend a large fortune https://scandinavianoutdoor.com/hilleberg/gear/tents/hiking-tents-lavvus/saitaris/?currency=GBP&delivery_country=GB&gclid=CjwKCAjwhLHaBRAGEiwAHCgG3tpnKg3LJh6ToQ9jT2vqTPhaXCswYg2IRqDtnvTSE2c1xD13ZT15HRoCl_4QAvD_BwE
  5. I just started to install USB charger on the bike, I take a USB battery pack that usually gives 3 charges, have a small solar if going to be away from civilisation for a while. This is our current compact campy thingy, we do middle of winter and bad weather, have a larger generic tunnel tent for general camping. https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/camping/tents+bivvys/marmot_grid_tentwhy_not_buy_an_pound80_budget_tent-2099
  6. If you want to push the boat out and not worry about the weather https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/hilleberg-nallo-2gt-tent-D1312070.html?colour=98 Loads of peeps make the following design which is fairly compact with lots of porch room. https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/the-north-face-heyerdahl-double-cab-tent-D1314026.html?colour=991 I have loads of different tents and although cheaper ones are OK you can tell the difference as you go up in price, weight usually comes down with quality of materials going up, it's not worth stumping up 2k to decide you don't like it, although I don't know why any one wouldn't like it, just avoid over crowded campsites in the middle of the school hols.
  7. Is this camping with bike or camping and car. Main things are tent and sleeping gear, warm weather just about any half decent sleeping bag will be fine depending on how uncomfortably hot you want to be, sleeping mat/bed will make ground more comfortable and reduce condensation between you and ground, some folk can't get away with airbeds, depends on what your comfort levels are. Tent, something that is big enough for your needs but stable in winds, plenty of ventilation as warm and wet weather creates lots of condensation, don't be taken in by hydrostic head for waterproofing, narrow it down to your needs then Google a couple for comparison. You can spend a fortune but you don't need too, but if you go to great outdoors or the like and buy the cheapest of everything then it's unlikely to be overly enjoyable when the elements start to take there turn. I have camped in all weather's, the best but of kit is a bottle of wine

    https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ullapool/corrieshalloch/index.html Not far from Ullapool and worth a look if the legs need a stretch, campsite in Ullapool has great sea views but can be a bitch to get tent pegs in.

    @fastbob the road out of fortwilliam heading north if you go straight over mini roundabout and keep Ben nevis on your left, it's where they filmed brave Hart, cary on to the end of the road and walk a mile they filmed a lot of Harry potty. Glen africa is nice too, in fact it's all good I envy you, have fun ride safe.

    Are you sure your road legal, I'm sure new rules say the cat has to be fitted and working.... What's the route?
  15. Any swivel connection on a corner would do it, but why why why....
  16. I don't live there and have never heard of the place, so it def wasn't me. Plus you seem kind of unhelpful, I mean no offence No I'm very helpful, I often go out of my way to be helpful, if you had said your post was pointless I could have agreed.

  18. Just be methodical and take your time.
  19. I re made a loom for my car just pinned it out on a plywood sheet, it's time consuming but worth it at that price.
