Hehe cheers FLRider.

Guys, new thread here:

I suppose that's the end of this one but I'll keep an eye on it if anyone wants to ask anything or comment.

Thanks for reading.

I think I went down to about -2C or -3C (sorry can't remember fahrenheit) with the Snugpak and an old sleeping bag on top. I took the hammock sock off because at that temperature it was too warm....

Guys, thanks for the positive response. I'll try to reply one by one:

MAD777, cheers! I'll have GPS maps once I get a new laptop in NY and manage to get them onto the GPS unit, so I'm a little...

Cheers for the info. I'm actually being serious. I'll put a new thread up if I buy the plane ticket. The blog will carry on as normal whatever happens. Same site, same bad attitude.

Anyone...

Guys I'm stuck in Turkey and it's looking unlikely I'll get into Iran. I'm considering a drastic detour: Fly to NY, cycle to LA then fly to final destination.

If I wanted to use/abuse that...

I probably make S.America seem worse than it is because I complain a lot. Tierra del Fuego is definitely a no man's land, though. No trees anyway.

Must be beautiful riding in the opposite...

Forgot to say I've just been told I'm waiting around in Turkey for up to a month while my Iranian visa is processed.

It's only 6 days' riding from where I am to where I pick the visa up. So if...

A couple of photos showing how I hang the Snugpak UQ on the WBBB. Request more photos if this is confusing!

Hoops tied in outer shock cord (A); also visible is a carabiner (1st photo) that hooks...

Cheers. I'm not sure I am with the visa stuff and the 'no trees for thousands of miles' but that will at least fuel a readable rant or two on the blog!

Alex, so you know exactly what the French are like.

As for the WBBB + Snugpak I haven't tried another UB but I think the two are perfectly matched. In winter (or early spring in the UK) with the...

Thanks for the support, chaps. I doubt there will be a book this time (been done many times before and for worthy causes too) but there's a chance I'll be writing one with a friend in the next few...

I slept in a tree in Greece last night.

There's always something that breaks on the bike and it looks that way with the hammock. I've got dyneema on a dutch fly for one end of the tarp (Evenk knot the other end), and the fly looks like it...

Cheers, Esku.

DIY TQ (of sorts) now finished. See the OP. I'm a warm camper.

Thanks, well-wishers!

Today is quilting day. Two days later I'm away. Not without the quilt though, so it will take as long as it has to. Link to that thread in the OP. Updates hopefully tonight...

Yep, I split the planning into either north of the Himalayas or south. South is politically risky and would eventually put me up against the brick wall of Burma, so no choice really.

I'd love to...

Thanks, Baja.

OP updated with a kit list.

Cheers, chaps :)

I'm hoping to make it to Seoul by the spring, where luckily a private academy I used to work for has offered me more work teaching English. From that point onwards, the cycling...

The subject line tells most of the story!

Here's a link to the blog: http://ijustfeltlikecycling.blogspot.co.uk/

I'm setting off on Monday 2nd July and you're welcome to follow the trip (and...
