First camping trip

I'm taking my Brompton for its first camping expedition this weekend. Just two nights static camping. I shall take a backpack rather than a Brompton T Bag and this holds everything I'll need. Having looked at a helpful video on YouTube, I've managed to mount my backpack on the rear carrier. I hope it holds.

From home, I shall ride the half mile or so to catch a bus to Banbury bus station, walk the short distance to the rail station and travel by train to Derby. From there, by bus to Ashbourne and then cycle around eight miles along the Tissington Trail to my intended campsite. The Trail north out of Ashbourne is generally uphill. I use a very good app called Komoot for route planning. It tells me that my outgoing route from Ashbourne will be 1hr 26 mins and return route 1hr 6 mins.

I shall post again next week and assess how well, or otherwise, the weekend goes.
