Camping with the K3.
« on: July 30, 2018, 11:34:25 AM »
So who says you need a modern adventure bike to go camping....
When a 'traditional tool' still does a perfectly good job!

Looks a bit flatter then when I went camping on our Sammy miller meet a few years ago.
Mike the bike knows just how unprepared my dad and I was.  ;D

If Trig had his way we would sleep in a bus shelter or on a park bench because it's FOC 🙄🙄🙄 It's me that likes a bit of comfort when away on bikes. I slummed it for years when I sailed, not unusual to spend a week or two on boats where the most modern convenience was a bucket on the deck !!!. I would slum it again now on a boat but not on a bike 😀😀😀

Camping with a car in good weather is definitely not slumming it these days. Slumming was camping with bike often two up, three to a tiny (usually wet) tent on trips over Europe...and I remember even them only with pleasure now!

Yes, you do at your young age....the older you get, the more planning is needed. A week away on a bike for me would be like planning a Military Operation !!! I had to have 2 lists on the go just to plan 3 days away in Derbyshire 😪😪😪

Thought I saw Peter  going back towards Crich when I was coming home?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
