LFGSS Bikepacking Weekend 2: Oct 27/28, Suffolk

Will be bringing at least a mat, thermals and quilt. Tempted to bring the 2p tent, as it's so light, but it is very orange, and Yakut's 3p tipi might be a more sensible option depending on who's coming.

Will almost certainly bring the Trangia and tea if I have space. Breakfast is v important

I've never, ever reserved a bike space on the Liverpool Street to Norwich train. It's never a problem. I hope they don't start enforcing that bollocks when they finally complete the line upgrades.

Stealth green tent fly is looking more likely now. Weather forecast has turned a bit more pessimistic.

thanks for the reassurance!

yes, now looks like rain overnight....you happy to bring it? can help carry poles/pegs/whatever

Just make sure to tell the conductor you'll be getting the bike off at Ipswich

Thanks. I think I have plenty of space to carry them, so all good.

Probably not using your bar bag -- handlebars are too narrow:) Maybe someone else wants it?

Have a Pelago large front rack to borrow btw.

@pit -- are you still undecided? Doubt you will be the slow one.

List update!

Yes:

1. platypus
   
2. spotter

@laurenced
@thross

ah, shame about the bar bag...
...if anyone wants to borrow a Revelate Sweetroll Medium for the trip, holla at me

I'm a no, sorry should have said earlier.

I really want to come but I feel like shit from too much exercise and it doesn't look like I'll recover by Saturday.
Still undecided.

thanks for letting me know

hey, no stress. pace will be very chill. 50 miles/day.

Weekend 1 was great, hope you guys have an amazing time :)

I'm out. As much as I love sleeping in a wet ditch it's the last thing I need right now.

Have yourselves a fun weekend, tent nerds!

looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
the most recent route link is what we'll be following, so please download it to your GPS devices.

Not taking tent, am taking Trangia. undecided about which luggage to use... Can't wait for a rainy night in the tipi

If anyone wants to borrow my tarp of kit let me know.

Sorry guys have a rad time.

no floor ok? or bring a ground sheet if you've got one.

no floor is fine :) we will be in the woods near minsmere probably, so should be a load of shelter and a soft surface for our sleeping mats
