sleeping matts

For the first month or so of our trip we had cheap sleeping mats. They looked the same as the fancy dearer models but punctured quickly (we are unsure whether Jennys ever retained air!) and were not very comfy. After many a poor night's sleep we splashed out on the well reputed Therma-rest brand and haven't looked back. A bit of a plug there but the difference is obvious and it's really not worth trying to skimp when it comes to getting a good sleep.

Anyway i drew some pictures of what it was like sleeping on our old mats............

    Looks like your still having a good time. Good you got your laptop sorted out.
    Why dont you write a post about the plan for the trip. It would be good to be able to work out where your going on a map. Just a suggestion.
    Anyway we'll chat soon.

  2. Hi Jenny,
    Lovely to get a glimpse of your adventure and hear how you are getting on.I liked the pony club sign. Lots of animals that's good. Happy cycling.

  3. Olive - thanks for your comment, yes arent the "poney" signs cute! we've seen some beautiful horses here who you would love. We often pull over to give them a bit of fresh grass and brush the flies off their faces on hot days. I heard you've moved office now, how sad for Lindsey and Bill :( I hope you still make it to High St for coffee on Friday sometimes. Lots of love xxx

    Gav - thanks for the suggestion, definitely a good idea and will try to put in some more detail of our current plans. A while ago we did a little google route map which is on the tab "route" at the top of the blog homepage, but it's not very detailed..
    Hope all is well in Glasgow, do you have a skype account? Mine is jennylauren83, would be great to chat some time!
