A walk through of our equipment

Voir plus bas pour le français.

We know that many of you are following us closely. So, we want to share with you as much as possible. We thought it might be fun for you to get a bit of a walk through of our equipment should you get inspired to go on a long trip. Some things have been omitted to keep the videos at a reasonable length. Our clothes in particular are causing a bit of a problem. Going on such a long trip means that you have to carry clothes for different types of weather. Weather that you might not encounter for a long time. So, that means extra weight. I guess it is possible to buy things along the way but I've found that it's a real source of frustration trying to find equipment in foreign places. I guess we'll carry too much stuff once again. Not sure how much use our -10C sleep bags are going to be crossing deserts at 40 degrees C. But we might be happy to have them in Scotland in October. Get the idea? Please feel free to make suggestions.

(Michèle comments: We don't have much in the way of clothing with us. Enough for a change or two out of sweaty and stinky cycling clothes, and enough to layer against the cold. Concerned about how few clothes we have, a friend asked me, "Et si le Prince vous invite?". Um, well, for such an invition, we'd have nothing appropriate to wear.)

Nous savons que pas mal d'entre vous suit notre blog régulièrement. Donc, nous voulons partager avec vous le plus possible. Il nous est venu à l'idée qu'il serait intéressant de vous montrer notre équipement. Certaines choses ont été exclues pour que les vidéos ne soient pas trop longs. Les vêtements, par exemples, nous causent un petit problème. Étant sur un voyage de cette magnitude, il est difficile réduire la quantité de vêtements. Nos sacs de couchage seront inutiles quand on traversera un dessert à 40 dégrés mais on sera bien content de les avoir en octobre en Écosse. Nous allons donc être encore une fois très chargés. Vous êtes le bienvenu de nous donner des suggestions.
