Camping with your bike

[barsteward]

No, No! Ramo, Jono49 and any other spurious bike riders. This is not a section about gay doging on bikes

As there is a very real chance that I will have to carefully budget for the for seeable future I am seriously considering camping as a way of keeping down costs.

So, do any of you still camp whilst touring?
What are your experiences of camping?
What equipment would you recommend?
In fact anything relevant to this topic

I'd recommend a Trangia stove. Light as fook, comes with 3 pans and a kettle and runs on meths so if you get a bit thirsty you're ok I've had one for over 10 years and it's still as good as day one. It's actually boiling for a brew now as I type this

Always plenty of campsites about if you want to come along. Usually use a couple of cheap hotels on way over £20 a night

Still do a bit of camping on the bike Les, only when we are having a few days away tho, dont like touring and overnighting...
packing up moving on to the next one etc etc.. but if theres somewhere to go like a festival, race meeting or bash etc etc dont mind doing a bit of tenting...

took me a while to get proper sorted tho ie right tent sleeping bag etc. but Im pretty organized now and can load the bike safely.

Cant do it two up tho thats why we use B&B in Europe... Shaz lost a bit of interest on the bike now tho so a camping tour one up could be arranged
