after writing up a blog about why I prefer bivvying to using a tent, I'm borrowing a tent for next weekend. The reason is that I'm going to an event in Kent which lasts 2 nights and they've laid on a campsite in an open field, and I want to be able to come back to the place of sleep after the ride and schlump down knowing that all my relevant gubbins has been kept dry while I've left it.
Annoyingly the 'campsite' doesn't have a shower so I'm mooting taking a sponge and a bar of soap to wash myself with after the ride so I don't have to crawl in to my scratcher all grubby and dirty.
a friend is lending me their tent so I'll try to remember to share how it goes.
