June is getting closer

Our planned trip is getting closer and we're getting more excited!

Ordered these Iron Horse Touring Panniers today and the Map of Spain and Portugal I order last week has arrived. Spent an hour or so browsing around ABC Camping in Swansea, looks like the inflatable mattress Jacqui wanted may have to be left out, feels far too heavy for the bike.

Our Passport application will finally get sent off next week, fortunately we have no absolute start date for our trip so we'll not be stressing waiting for them to arrive, as long as they arrive before mid June.

Attempting to spend at least 2 hours a day in the saddle at the moment, mainly to get Jacqui used to time in the saddle, I intend to get a Gel Pad to help her with numb bum syndrome on the longer journeys.
