Yuletide Exmoor Explorer 7th to 9th December

[spasm]

Can you put me in, please?

It will be a long way there from London on a 125cc.
Haven't done camping yet but bought Dragon Rally tickets already so need to practice quickly :whistle:
I hope I won't freeze to death and my bike won't let me down :blink:

Kris

hi the secret is to buy a really good sleeping bag, like mine i got from ebay for 20 quid

[Bigtim]

Kris, Bonniebird and Homer are coming down from the East coast North of London, might be good to possibly tie up with them for a bit of company on the ride down.

The cold we can deal with as long as it's not wet aswell, Going to see the campsite this weekend to see how wet it is after all the rain recently, hopefully as it's quite high up it will drain well and won't be soggy underfoot like a certain camp site last weekend.

As Spasm says, the secret is a good sleeping bag, I would also recommend a silk liner for your sleeping bag.

Hope to see you on Exmoor.

i was joking on the 20 quid sleeper lol, u might wanna spend 80 or so on a good 4 season one, or just bring 3 cheaper ones like i did to the simmer, i was toasty

[hilux]

hoping to make it work and weather permitting. riding from j6 M3 if anyones passing this way.

I bought a good second hand one. Rab Summit 700. Worth £300 for new. Very small when packed but super hot. Should give comfort when -17C. Extreme to -49C

I don't have enough space for more cheaper bags. It's a small 125cc Suzuki VanVan. No panniers. Can't afford to ride a bigger bike

See you this December. :laugh:

very sensible its better to buy good gear second hand than cheap new .
i dont think it will work at -49c these firms seem to exaggerate i have a mountain equipment 1000 and its very good but at minus 15c you need thermos on for sure!!
its great that your coming down to are little do, plus we are hoping to make the Dragon again this year if we get are tickets??
so you can join us if you want?

If you want I have a pair of oxford panniers you can have for a cuppa. They just go over the saddle and don't look to bad.

That would be wonderful.
I fought of them just didn't want to spend so much money.
Riding is already expensive for me

Thank you so much! So kind of you.
