So I've added an E-Bike to my armoury, and of course it had to be a foldie! After much soul seeking and thought I picked the Fiido D2S (rather than opting for the earlier D2).

Ortlieb Gravel Pack Panniers I've owned these panniers for about two years or so now, and think it's time they got a write up. So initially they were bought for the front rack on my foldie.

Let me first of all state that I'm a terribly lazy camper. When we got our new inflatable tent a couple of years ago I was in awe at not having to fold up poles. Life was easy. My laziness was satisfied. Now skip to 2019 and I first see a thing called a Zelter... Continue Reading →

I've had my Karcher OC-3 for a few months now. It's a fairly compact little unit housing a water reservoir with a capacity of 4 litres, a battery pack with a run time of about 15 minutes, and a jet washing nozzle and hose that's permanently connected into the control unit but all stores inside....

Make your way to this place (you'll find the entrance at what3words : ///forgives.flexed.flipper) assembling from 4pm onwards.

It can't be ignored that Winter is getting closer and the nights are drawing in. We'll soon be at the Equinox and as the days become greyer and duller we need to make sure we're seen. Lighting up a foldie isn't too much of a problem generally as we have vast expanses of both seat... Continue Reading →
