Sleeping bags are NOT required and indeed I think it says somewhere NO SLEEPING BAGS :shock:

Mine will be in the car just in case

[Mr Panda]

Have you got an inflatable canoe TK?

 

[The Ken]

yes, big enough for 1 person and a bike, and 30 m of rope to pull it back and forth, will you be putting the 18kg on your back or in your panniers?
