What tarp is that? I like the way you leveraged the bike and wheel for support of the tarp.

Excellent treeless/hiking stickless tarp set up!

How many days/ how easy was re-supply?

hi,
the west highland way is 150k across the west highlands of scotland, as north of loch lomand was unrideable there was a little extra to go another way, so around 190k in total, i completed it in 2 long days so no need to re supply!

KITLIST-
Bag- alpkit waterproof 20lt pack, topeak 10lt saddle bag (for tools, spares etc)
Tarp-gossamer gear spinn solo, ti pegs
Cook system- alpkit titanium mug, esbit titanium wing stove, titanuim spoon
Bivvy- terra nova
Sleep system- Alpkit pipedream bag, gossamer gear nightlite torso length, i used the pad out of my backpack for my thighs, tricky but it works
Also food water dry socks, insulating layers etc

Thanks for showing the bike tarp set-up!

How did you get on with the Alpkit Gourdon 20L bag? I have one but the wife has adopted it for commuting in the winter. I am not sure how the thin waist belt would help on longer rides when you don’t want all the weight on your shoulders.

A 30L total load out is pretty good packing / minimal kit list. Nice trick with the tarp, I’ll have to remember that if I don’t make it to the bothy next weekend!

hi alex,
yer the alpkit bag is not the comfiest of bags, I don’t like a big waste belt whilst biking but the it is small, although I found it to be fine with that weight, its also got the advantage of being waterproof and its quite tough.
I think now ill being hitting the trail more like this I would consider a more technical pack, something like the Salomon Raid Revo 30.

great lightwieght set up using a tarp,just orderd one,save wieght of a tent on the rack,could also be put up higher between trees for cooking when raining (ray meyers style),have you thought about a epic designs frame bag?,i just got one and its amazing,with a tarp set-up i think i will manage without a rucksack now!,just a camelback,
