Thread: Camping Solo

haha pocket rocket, I dont think I'd be aloud to go downhill mntbiking EVER! that is WAY too much fun for me to be aloud to dO! hahahahah.

Na I just go sit around, do a little fishing maybe... have a beer, sleep... read a book.. Like I said to her, if I stay home I'll be using the angle grinder and drop saw, welder, drills in the shed! I think there is more risk there....

She normally loves going camping but she works 5 days and can't get time off; weekends are often busy. I didn't think that it would be a problem for me to disappear for a couple nights....

I would LOVE to do an around Oz trip... with or without her I guess with would be better... just camping all the way... no itinerary...

Thanks guys. Believe it or not, she's calmed down somewhat and isnt' completely against it now!

I'm always solo.

My neighbour is coming this time.

It's already kind of starting to bug me as I have to 'include' him in everything.

there is nothing at all to be concerned about though.

and I travel 5000km.

Female logic is very different..... I give up trying to understand it

G'Day mate.
It makes a lot of sense to have 'Reporting lines and scheds.
That is is civvy speak: I'll let you know when I get *points at map left behind* Here, Here and Here".
Once camped. txt am , lunch and pm. It isn't being under the thumb, it is good practice. Next trip you will be told that you don't need to keep texting all the time
I've been out looking for too many jokers who were too good or tough for that girly 'trip plan or checking in stuff'

I didnt' mean I shouldn't check in...

We generally always do that with either my parents or our kids. My parents always let us know their plans as well when they're travelling. For us its mainly because we either go mountain biking where things can happen or kayak fishing off-shore.

I reckon that would be awesome. And you gotta take her with you

I'm just waiting for LoneRanger's 110 to be ready so we can at least do some 2 or 4 week no itinerary touring.

Before having a descent car all our family holidays were mountain bike camping along the Munda Biddi trail. Camping in one spot is great but camping-touring is even better.

Nowadays we tend to go to one spot for a couple of weeks and go fishing from kayaks

Sweet, I've done some cycle camping... it's fun. only I sold the only bike I can carry panniers on... only have a roadie now o well....

Yes the plan is to start doing extended trips around to exciting places.
