I've been planning a #miniadventure since last year but never really got round to it. I knew I wanted to do it before Lana lost interest and realised that I'm not cool, she's 3.5, so that may be soon!
A few improvements to the bike had to be made before it was ready for our arduous journey, including fitting of mudguards and Surley front rack and this was achieved with a minimum amount of swearing and fettling bits to fit.
Friday night was spent looking out camping kit and packing it, unpacking, repacking and realising that even the relatively flat 8 miles I had planned each way were going to be a challenge for my legs and the structural integrity of my dads 30 year old Specialized Rockhopper. I could barely lift it once laden and that didn't include Lana on top!
I went to bed full of anticipation for the following day's adventure and having slightly strange vivid fear of the dark dreams, hopefully not a bad omen.
Saturday came and a late start was enforced as my wife was sleeping off a night shift, around 15:30 were ready to set off for Tentsmuir forest.
