Most of you probably already know 'what to pack' and 'how to pack' etc but some don't and this link is for those. I don't camp, and haven't camped since I was a child, but I think this site it a good place to start for info, of course if any B M members would like to give their tips as well that would be good too. http://www.lazymotorbike.eu/tips/camping/

Don't take a pillion campin. They take up far too much space (even the small ones). It means you can take a proper size tent which goes on the back seat with yer double infatable matteress, double sleeping bag and arm chair. most importantly you gonna need music. small radio or mp3 player. Even better if you get someone to go in a small van. then they can take everything and you get to ride yer bike luggage free.
