\"\"<\/a>It’s 7am here in Calais. I’ve woken to a feeling that I’ve forgotten something. A quick check of my camping gear reveals it…. I’ve left my sleeping bag and sleeping mat on the spare bed back at home. I’ve also left my V5 and insurance docs.<\/p>\n

This is becoming horribly predictable on my little jaunts. Morocco I forgot a set of poles for the tent, Russia I managed to leave my thermals and now I’ve managed to drag all my camping and cooking gear out of the UK only to leave the most vital components.<\/p>\n

The plan now is to drop into a cheap camping shop this side of Germany and see if I can grab a cheap mat and bag for less than \u20ac100 – which I estimate is what I’d spend on two nights in ETAP or F1 hotels on the way to Budapest where I’m crossing fingers Catherine can bring out my gear.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the weather is really crap this morning. Okay, okay I admit it – I’m having quite a lot of fun \ud83d\ude42 The run out here was great – Stace would be proud of my 120 miles in one sitting, almost tank to tank \ud83d\ude09 I had a whole carriage to myself on the train and the weather here was stunning when I arrived last night. As I type this I can see the clouds have broken up and a quick google maps search has located a Decathalon just off my route to Germany<\/a>. Germany here I come.<\/p>\n
