GOTLAND on BIKE: Getting ready

So departure day is nearing. Spent a day getting in some supplies with Taras. We both needed the saddle bags, and i treated myself to a super lightweight camping tent. It folds up tiny...great for packing onto the bike and only weighs 2.1kg.


I wonder why my bike looks slightly more loaded than Taras bike??? I have to say i am rather pleased with the bags i got too. 36Litres each side.


We had a practise set up of the tent in the garden as well. Just wanted to get it all figured out so that we dont look a complete pair of plonkers at the camp sites!! Its not the biggest tent in the world, but so long as we dont fall out we should be OK.

Camping weekend

It was how this blog started...way back...and we said we would do it again soon. Well now, three years later we finally got round to it? Went camping on one of the islands of the east coast of Sweden...just below Stockholm. Very nice it was too.

It was not a long walk to the camping site...but the little trolley that Jonas fetched made it a whole lot easier!!

The sandy beach was a surprise (to me at least) and very nice it was too! There is not that many like this in Sweden to my knowledge?

If only this trailer trash tramp had not followed us and started creating trouble (he even won at our poker game god damn it!)

Anyway...looking forward to next time! Hopefully I wont have to wait three years again.
