In contrast to last weekend the weather this weekend looks set to be warm and dry. So, has anyone got any plans for a sub 24 hour trip or is it working/shopping/DIY for everyone? ;)

I wish :(

But on the upside I will probably be making tarp dens in the garden with my 2 girls :D

Just back from a cracking weekend camping down at East Prawle, South Devon.

Certainly couldn't be classed as lightweight bike packing though, my van was full to the gunwales with toys :D

Took the bikes but they didn't see much action as there wasn't enough hours left in the day to use them after we'd been canoeing, fishing, snorkelling and had a couple of late nights in the Pig's Nose ;)

Have got a one nighter planned for Dartmoor in a couple weeks though :)
