old git ;

cute idea of biking around the studio, and I loved how the dog came over to see if there was anything interesting to mooch for when they emptied his panniers (I guess that was Shep)

really makes you think of how not much has changed in terms of packing, basic stuff needed and how keeping things to a minimum is important. Was suprised he didnt have any sort of sleeping mat. When I was camping as a kid at that time we used to have some foam things with kind of ridges on one side that rolled up somewhat compactly, were fairly light although werent overly comfortable either but better than nothing (I do remember they certainly soaked up water from the floor of a tent just like a kitchen sponge, remember ringing them out some mornings)

hey 50 isn't that old......although AARP do keep sending me stuff in the mail now.

Yes the dog was call Shep and it was the dumbest border collie ever.

I was quite impressed that Ian Hibell didn't need front panniers and his rear panniers were quite small. He also packed a lot of food because he was often far from resupply. He was carrying less than many of today's tourists. If he had gear made from modern materials his set up would have been pretty lightweight.

I too am impressed that he didnt have more stuff and/or front panniers. I will have to try to do some internet searches to see if anything about him and/or his travels turns up.

Oh, and re age, I'm being a smartass as I am a whopping whole year younger than you....
cheers
