OK so you've seen the film now read the novel.

I typed up my HT560 experience over a couple of train journeys so it is quite long I'm afraid. Hopefully you'll find it reasonably interesting and empathise with some of the mistakes/incompetence/feelings/highs/lows and general ace-ness of bikepacking contained within.

I'm going to update it with a kitlist shortly.

Dave, that was a really enjoyable write up - you have a way with words that shows the true emotions going through your whole body. The video was great and the write up was even better!

Great writing as ever Dave.

I'm going to have to read this later - started it while at work, but getting funny looks from the muffled laughs...

That was a good read Dave esp the fireworks display in your shorts

Quality!

Started reading in the office. Barse: I never knew there was such a word (Yes I had to look it up)

Edit: im reliable informed by her indoors it called 'The perineum'

Double Edit - sod working, finished the words Well done lad

A long good read.
