Sorry i have missed this. Yes we are able to take his dad round the isle of wight this time. Andys bike has the back box and rest and is more secure.

A 'what the hell im in' trip. The scooter lot are going to Kelso rally so im going too, on my bike of course. Camping at the showground and already booked on to the local parkrun there 😊 We leave this Thurs morning and im almost packed. Andy hopefully will come up after work on saturday night. Drive back on sunday. Praying to the sun gods as we speak. Im going to try and go pro stuff this time. Im excited to try the new tent 😊 & the shredded memory foam pillow @Slowlycatchymonkey recommended looks plush. Ive also got a thick foam yoga matt for under my matress. Hopefully be a bit warmer. 

Think i need a bigger bike 🤭

Still food to pack and other bits and pieces 😳

I remember camping in the lakes with Mandi and the kids. Kids slept through the night but me and Mandi were stuck together on an air bed trying to steal heat off each other. 
We camped far to close to the water for the time of year,
