Very interesting and helpful video Stu. Are you sure about your clothes for a week? No mention of underwear, socks, shirts, trousers, shoes, etc. Or do you just take what you're wearing?
Thanks Julian. I didn’t list the gear that I’ll be wearing and I take no spare shirts etc and only one spare pair of socks and underwear. I operate a wear one wash one cycle - you may not enjoy sitting next to me on the train after one of my hikes! 😂😂😂
I doubt you smell overmuch on the train home Stu, modern hiking / cycling clothing such as the items you detail are excellent. The world has gone a bit mad with regard to it seems the norm now to wash your clothes after just one day’s wear - ridiculous. When touring, I have what I’m wearing plus a spare set and interchange them. I also take a very lightweight nightshirt. All of my clothing can easily be rinsed out every few days to freshen it, it all dries quickly.
@@pootlingalong8928 Exactly!! I think it’s fine to take a load of spare clothes if you feel the need but it’s so unnecessary really. If people give it a try I’m sure most wouldn’t go back to lugging the contents of their wardrobe around.
Really cool video and travel kit suggestions. May the Lord bless you with many more joyful adventures
Thank you! You too! I really appreciate your kind comments 👍
It’s great to see someone talking about going light on a bike. I’m going to check out the toothpaste and soap alternatives.
I’m already ahead of you there 😂 I use toothpaste tablets and soap leaves from Lifeventure. Check em out.
Hello Stu,
Great video, thank you... Lots of good tips for a novice like me...
Take care.
Paul,,
Glad you enjoyed it
Really useful video Stu. Any chance you could list the items to save having to stop/start the vedeo?
Yes no worries give me a minute for this technophobic pensioner to work out how to lift the list from the app I use 😂
I think I’ve managed to paste the Cleveland Way kit list into the description for you
John, If you want any more information on anything just let me know I can always do a follow up video.

by the time you add in the weight of walking poles for your tent you would be better just using a light tent
I know though the lightest option is my tarp supported by the Brompton which is a pretty effective shelter.
