Looking at my camping gear last night, and reckon most of it is fine for the summer but just won't cut it for any thing else.

I�ve got two tents one decent big pack size Coleman and a cheapo form Millets which packs down to a bag of crisps and was going to win the Lakeland smallest tent prize till Bear showed up.

Decided I'm going to use two sets of gear one light and small pack size for summer touring, and a bigger pack size (though I hate putting stuff on a motorcycle) for spring autumn weekends like Dent StMarys etc.

On the shopping list:

A 3-4 season sleeping bag, what to get? Do I go for the cheapest one that does the lowest temperature? My budget would be under �100.

A better mat. Looked at those exped ones a while ago and was put off by too many people getting leaky ones plus they are expensive. A few of the lads use the big cheapo ones so going to have a look at what size they pack down to. I think part of the problem is, even on a 2m mat my feet end up hanging off the end and get cold even with socks on, so a simple pillow could solve this.

A cooker for the days first / last coffee and cuppa sooop smash.

Some wind proof dressy troozers for standing about going to the pub, not bike stuff, just find jeans seem to attract the cold and damp.
