• Lightweight tent recommendations?

  in Cycle Touring and Bikepacking • 1 month, 2 weeks

  

  Hi all - my partner and I are going on a 3 month cycle trip starting in Japan, possibly going s.korea and/or China depending on how far we get next year.
  We need to get a new tent for it and want a 3 berth and DURABLE!
  What are people's views on the best tent for the job? Is a Hubba Hubba the best all rounder? Some of the big agnes tents look pretty good too!

  I have two tickets to Scotland vs Fiji this Saturday and a double room at the Ten Hill Place hotel for both Friday and Saturday night, which are now going spare.

  Cost us £345 all in and ideally would like to get that or near to that back but willing to take offers.

  Does anybody use or know of any open source or very low cost websites or programmes that can be used to develop bag patterns.

  I’m thinking of some sort of CAD programme where you draw your pattern out and the programme will virtually sew your bag to show dimensions etc.

  like pinhead oats? I have found them in Scottish supermarkets but don’t seem to be available in any main stream ones in London.
  I ended up ordering bulk online

  No it’s in Pimlico - I think it was on Calverton st.

  I know quite a few people who have done similar things - definitely worth at least attempting if you find your stolen bike online.

  I saw it on FB market place, arranged to view it. Confirmed it was indeed my stolen bike, then asked to take it for a test ride and just rode it the whole way home. Sent the guy a text to tell him I was reclaiming it and it was stolen and then blocked his number. It was all surprisingly easy.

  He is 100% dodgy - This guy was selling one of my bikes on facebook market place (under diff name but had that same rossini and loads of sega stuff).
  I managed to steal it back but the flat I collected it from was like a chop shop of bikes - so many it was mental. Reported it to the police but doubt they did FA.

  He even had a curly hetchins...
