Ah...but you’re sugar coating the reality. Or should I say, romanticizing the misery. The inevitable downpour that soaks your bag and tent (and you) to the bone leaving you to sleep on the cold wet ground with a soggy leather jacket for a pillow. Miserable.

Don’t ask how I know this. Thankfully the 1971 Lucas electrical system held together throughout that trip..at least until I got home.
