The only wind I can remember from last years RTT was coming from Tony's n Hutch's direction

That was after loads of pints of the black stuff

Try a large outdoor store like Blacks or summat for S/steel camping kit, it cheap but it will last for ever.
Have a nose around your nearest Army surplus for a lot of good well tested kit.

Linky Argos S/Steel pots etc.

S/S Kettle

I don't know if Mrs Saga is looking forward to getting rid of me for a week or she's after something? Came home from work and she gave me some packs of uncle Ben's boil in a bag rice for the trip ... random or what? Still, at least she is speaking to me and appears quite friendly at the mo so I accepted it in good faith and fawned heaps of gratitude to help keep in her good books

Now on 9er number 2 .....

Another thing I forgot to mention is the other day I bought from Hein Gerick a small first aid kit which also has a hi viz jacket in the back pocket; its very small and compact and ideal for biking. Rremember you need a hi vis in France coz it the law in case you break down and they will nick you if you haven't got one

Ive been trawling through thr tinter net and not found a decent stainless pan set as yet. Could do with one that all goes into the biggest pot and still fits into a pannier.

Wilkos (Wilkinsons) household stores have a nice wee stainless (copper bottomed) nesting set for one person, costing IIRC about £7.99. Called the "Trek 1" cookset - China's finest.

Consists of a 0.65 litre shallow pan with lid, 16 cm frying pan with lid doubling as a deep plate, 0.25 litre plastic cup, all in a nylon bag, total weight 480 gm. Comes packed in box 17x17x7 cm, to give you an idea of its packability

Remember French hypermarkets like Auchan, Mammouth, Carrefour etc. are good for camping , picnic and other stuff.....+ Carrefour is good for wine...

But why all this preparation for full-blown cooking etc.? Time should be spent biking, and food can be bought on the hoof?

Btw, in case I miss the chance later, have a safe journey lads - take care of yourselves over there.

Pict, I know it will save very little money but its all part of the camping thing. Like being a kid again and surviving in the great outdoors but with a little help from French supermarkets.

Cheers, shame you cant make it but we will take lots of pictures and I shall post you some of my very first camping food. First class mind.

Yes, it's a shame, but as time has gone on I've become more sure that I was right to drop out - the ol' throttle arm is playing up and my balance is feeling dodgy.

I do understand the fun of the full-on camping thingy, but would have limited the weight of cooking stuff on this trip. If you're younger and fitter, though, go for it.

Looking forward to the pictures - and any consolation parcels........

We'll post you the burnt scrapings off the bottom of the pan

I was only planning on cooking a bit of breakfast, is this going to escalate in to a cooking contest? Going to have to pack quite light if I want to leave enough space for a decent set of knives, spice jars, wok and set of le cruiset

How about a cut-down "celebrity chef" - eg. "one-pot dish of the week"? Garlicky chicken, salami and baked bean stew with Mars bar dumplings kind of thing...

Pah, we're going to France. I was thinking more escargots, boeuf bourguignon and crepes.

Cassoulet or coq au vin should be doable in a camp site, though I intend to find a boulangerie and live on vin, pain et fromage.
