@GideonPARANOID this sleeping setup is ace. Is the tarp fastened to the wheel with straps and then the string/tent peg is keeping the wheels upright?

Two more little trips in the bag.
Rode up to just outside Northallerton to meet some friends for a night's camping. Tried the tarp & wheel setup for bivvying - it worked pretty well! Pretty much no wind that night though, & I'm not sure how well it would survive were it more blowy. Cheapo WTB slicks worked out pretty well.
Second trip is a last-minute Leeds Liverpool canal jaunt. Got the train out on Tuesday morning & stayed in Blackburn overnight. Turns out Blackburn doesn't have a huge amount in terms of tourism (quelle surprise), but it was a cheap Premier Inn. Absolutely chucked it down yesterday afternoon, but thankfully we only got properly drenched in the last twenty miles. Feel like I've seen every possible variation of canal towpath now. Glad I swapped to knobbly tyres for the trip, though there were no sections worse than the bit around Silsden which I've done a few times anyway.
