A couple of years ago I rode auonrd europe with a couple of friends, as you can imagine eighteen days on a motorcycle; space was at a premium. We did take two man tents but never used them! We are survival entusiasts and camped the whole holiday under tarps and had very comfortable nights sleep. Its an incredable feeling as you are literally under the stars and begin to feel part of the surroundings. We visited France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Luxemburg and back to France. The only interest the authorities gave was casual amusement and interest. In Luxembourg a traffic officer gave us official permission to park virtually anywhere as we were visiting her country, she just wanted us to make us very welcome. The kit was a tarp 10 * 12 , a sleeping bag, a survival bag, a kettle, cup and a three pan set from the carboot, a camping GAZ stove, a first aid kit and a torch. Oh and the tent I never used. One night on the Germany Czech border we pitched up in torrential rain, still we had a good nights kip. Very satisfying experience and when we tour europe which we have done on numerous occassions since we still leave the tents at home. We have Ditch-Pigged throughout the year from February through to November. Hope this helps Shaun
