Title: New tent!
Post by: Feanor on 15 November, 2019, 07:09:32 pm

Our Wild Country Quasar is over 20 years old,and the seams need re-taped and it needs some general love and attention.
For the South American Epic next year, we've just splurged out on a new Hilleberg Staika.

Pound per kilogram, that's up amongst the most expensive items I've bought.
Second only to the Zipp wheels, I think!

We’re going to need some photos!

And what’s your South American adventure all about?

Photos when I have the tent here in Aberdeen. It's still in transit, at the Feanor Outposts in Edinburgh.

We are riding from Lima to Ushuaia:

Blimey, the trip looks amazing!  How long will it take you?
