Other way actually. Get the train down Sunday evening, five days up the route from Monday morning and then train home from Holyhead on the Saturday
Holyhead all the way to Cardiff?
Good point. The best value tent I ever had was £9.99 from Tesco. It was a two-man, which meant it had room for me and my bag (I was travelling by car so had a long holdall with most of my stuff in). The tent didn't weigh much, was really easy to put up and was weatherproof enough for August in Scotland. Plus, did I mention I got change from a tenner? Not sure what happened to it now though - I suspect it got left behind in the house I had with the first Mrs KneesUp.Will a 1 man tent be big enough? Some can be rather "form fitting"and don't allow much room for gear.
To be honest, the plan is the tent takes me, clothes and a torch, the rest stays on the bike.Will a 1 man tent be big enough? Some can be rather "form fitting"and don't allow much room for gear.
Well I'd want 28s but if you've got 32s. The 25s will have to be kept very hard to cope and will be a bit 'harsh' (unless you like fixing 'snakebite' punctures)You think that kit list warrants bigger tyres ?
