Frustration Galore...


What a day.  Had my first proper trial pack.
Medical kit I want to take
And guess what... Not enough room!!! And way to heavy, my poor bike.
Final medical kit
A good indicator of things to come
 I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't think I would be so short off space.  Spent most off the day going through everything, and removing anything that isn't on my high priority list.  Tried a second trail pack this evening.  Still not there, but a lot closer.  Hopefully after a couple more trial packing runs I will get everything to fit.
Where is it going to fit?


Yesterdays job was to organise my tools and spares, and then find a hiding place for them on the bike.  Felt like I was building a puzzle, with way too many pieces. Fun but frustrating. To top it all off I also managed to drop the nearly fully loaded bike. Weight wasn't balanced and I lost it as I took the bike off the stand.  Smack.  Snapped off one of my mirrors.  Ouch!!!  Back to mechanic tomorrow to have it fixed.


Tools and spares


4 hrs later

I think I am just about ready to go. Just have to wait for the GPS.  Fingers crossed for some good news tomorrow.
Nearly everything that has to go
Clothes and food missing
