Summer bank holiday weekend… and yes I did say Summer.
So the much anticipated August bank holiday weekend is upon us already! For the first time in a while I’m not going to rock-out at Reading Festival, I’ve got a nice quite weekend camping down in Cornwall planned with the lads… ok so it might not be all that quite or nice but it will be a good weekend all the same. Well, that’s assuming I can stay dry, weather forecast looks pretty, erm… English! But its all booked and I think you have to just embrace it. Luckily it’s pay day this week so I’ve been through the site and grabbed myself a couple of bargains that should come in useful. First of I’ve bagged a packet of Hi-Gear Cyclone Matches. Now I kid you not, these bad boys can withstand 1 hour emersion in water and will light in winds of up to 50km/h. Not a bad for under £2.50!
Next up I’ve got myself a decent torch, a Coleman wide beam, only £7.99 so I can find my way back to tent, that’s assuming I remember to take it to the pub in the first place of course. Last but not least I needed a cool Gore-Tex all weather jacket. I managed to find this lightweight Sprayway Venom Paclite GTX. Now because we’ve still got the August discount running this jacket now has 52% off its RRP. ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!
Ok so hopefully now I’ll be fully prepared for whatever the weekend can throw at me. Or at least I’ll just look good while sat in my tent in a random field in Bude. Make sure you have a good weekend, and make the most of it. Rides are always a bit more fun after some rain as well so there’s even more of an excuse to make sure you get out there and tear it up.
Feel free to leave some comments and share your plans for the weekend.
Adios
