The access here is astonishing as long as you have a street legal bike. Some
Of the trails we rode through were so achingly stunning it almost feels wrong. The reality is you barely see anyone and are miles away from any houses or people to disturb.There's another solid month of high mountain access hopefully and after that, it's desert time.
On the bag front, I'm not sure - goretex outer probably, I never take a tent and although rain is not really a problem, wind definitely is.

Mate that sounds absolutely epic, so envious of all the legally accessible dirt you have over there, in Scotland its a bit weird, there are tracks (farm tracks and random old bits of road on the moors) but not really legal for a powered vehicle (and enforced by annoyed landowners). In some places (f0und one by accident last week) you can use forestry commission unpaved tracks/roads as rights of way even in a powered vehicle where there is no other way (or in that case it was like a 60 mile tarmac trip vs 4 miles of gravel).
