    Practice. You don't need to be going out camping in order to do your thang...

    Our tent is way too big to have a go in the garden so I might borrow the school field for a practice if the weather ever improves ;)

    We've got our furry baby since we went last time, so she adds a whole new set of complications - how to pack up to go camping when she fills the back of the car. We have a roof box, but can only put so much up there, no tow bar or trailer. I suppose we'd have to cut right back and travel extremely light :rolleyes: :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ooooo well next weekend is the london tri on both days - cycling is past westminster :D

    Although bagpuss the competitors are swiming in edexcel docks I think - its not the river per se - its cleaner and less tidal thankfully, but it'll still be cold though :eek:

    Tidal is great if it's going your way...

    Yep, makes it easier to count the passing sanitary items and condoms!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I must admit I looked at this last night and was tempted.

    I've never been camping...bring on the violins.

    Vicious headache today :mad:

    Obviously you need to be in a place that's discovered the magic of the sewage farm...

    There will be better places than Halfords to get camping stuff.
