Featured Solo-camping Adventure

Not done camping for years, used to do rallies and stuff in the 90's & early naughties, but could never carry enough gear on the bike to make it a comfortable experience so as the bones got older I gave up. @dilligaf tows a trailer to stow all the gear he needs (mainly alcohol TBH) but now needs a Rocket 3 to tow it!

I have still done trips but just stay in small hotels & B&B's, carry less gear & enjoys the ride more.

 

Never camped with the bike. I've covered most of the roads on your route though. That should be great!

 

Yep, done quite a bit of camping over the years both with and without the bike. The secret is not to take too much stuff and ensure what you do take is reliable and versatile. My last trip around the Trossachs and Cumbria was completed with an all up luggage weight for the week of 45lbs including the tent, food and bags themselves.

Less is definitely more

 

Dilli does a lot of camping but I’d be wary of any advice he gives, he has a good time but usually returns minus a tent and self respect!

 

Take as much as you can

 

I used to do a lot years ago not do much these days, but that's a good route you have there plenty to see and do

 

Dilligaf, I see as your trailer gets bigger, so does your tent.

 

Not sure he actually sets out with any self respect Steve.

 

Looks quite a nice circular route

 

I agree!!!

 

It’s great! I did the nc500 and camped 3 nights. Brilliant fun and highly recommend!
Mind you, it didn’t rain....

 

Not been camping for a while, did a few 5 & 6 weekers as a student on excavation, but got the kit moved there in a car. Last time bike camping it was in cornwall, it rained so much first night the tent collapsed so we hired a static caravan for the week instead, lush.

Enjoy

 

Duck, what's a lady boy girlie girl?

 

The lady and I are going to the TT for a week again this year. All we've got to do is remember where we put the tent.

 

Err! A lady boy, girly girl? Feck knows ... I work in the bang bang house at Madame Sins, you don't have to be a looker to work in there or look like a lady let alone a girly girl ... but as I said before this racing is feckin expensive!

 

At this point I would like to apologise for derailing a perfectly good thread that has now gone featured , what on earth will people think coming in for a look at the Forum front page for the first time?

I was aided & abetted by both @Dozers Dad & @Duckadiledundee who are probably not as sorry as me!

 

I clean boy, You pay now.
