1.Bikes

Thorn bike seems to be leaking less air now from front tyre so going well

Tough Road might need a major service cogs seem worn and chain keeps coming off

2.Footwear

Hubbys Merrell shoes might not last too much longer, leak a little in showers

My zambelini shoes no problems and shower proof  great also for walking in

 

3.Waterproofs from groundeffect NZ

Trousers great

New style coats seem to create a greenhouse effect ground effect offered a refund. Venting on sleeves not under arms like old models

4. Waterproof booties from halfords, uk

Fell apart after 3 uses,dont buy

 

5. Panniers

Ortlieb no problems

Azur showing signs of wear, will they last…

Both panniers waterproof, ortlieb click on and off easily, hubby has to spend considerable time attaching his and unattaching

 

 

Gear we should have bought:

GOOD Blow up pillow , pillows in Europe are terrible

Raincover for rucksack
