Winter camping
Mon, 08 Feb 2010
Those there are two words that we’ve never really put together. Winter usually equals indoors, warmth and duvets, but to test our new tent and gas cooker, last weekend we spent the night under canvas at Blackberry Woods. – Posted by Emma + Justin
- built fire at blackberry woods campsite last night. stars and owls out in force but freezing under canvas- glad of real bed this eve. - Feb 7, 2010 @ 01:05 PM
- Put all sorts of things on bikes last few days. Fingers crossed for fine weather so we can trial the tent next weekend. - Jan 31, 2010 @ 12:47 PM
- Sold French maps to a very tall man, brought bargain wool socks, picked up prescription sunnies. Successful weekend all round. - Jan 24, 2010 @ 11:34 AM
- See what happened there? New username to match trip URL. Very clever, us... - Jan 16, 2010 @ 04:24 AM
the plan
We're two New Zealanders with bicycles and a tent heading East from Santander in Spain towards Turkey, and eventually Russia or Central Asia through to South East Asia.
After six years working in London, we were keen to travel for longer than a few weeks at a time and wanted to immerse ourselves in places that we visit. We're not out to break any records but cycling seems to be about the right speed for us. It's been too long since our trip from one end of the UK to the other (LEJOG), and our touring bikes are itching for another proper adventure.
