11 November 12.00 till 13.30 'Meet the Maker' event Beth of Wildcat Gear and myself will be at Longstaffs ST57JF talking about touring/bikepacking and some new ideas too. You can also see a pre-production model of Longstaff's Ruffstuff machine. Free coffee and local pie shop will be open too. Welcome!

Bugger, I am in Nottingham at a conference otherwise I could have snuck out of work to come say hi.

Hope it all goes ok though, be interesting to see what the regulars make of soft luggage
