Top 5 route planning tips to minimise suffering on a long ride

I would really like to get into kayaking but trying to transport one has me baffled.

    Such an engaging video - love the friendly conversational style! I think I'm about the same age as you so it's great to see not all wild campers are in their early twenties! Not sure it makes me want to wild camp though. A campsite with some facilities and a nice country pub next door gets my vote. As for axe-murderers, if someone wanted to chop up someone in a tent they'd probably head for a campsite anyway as likely to have more success!

    I used them for many years for commuting. Well basically I had an extra front wheel with this tyre that I could switch in a minute depending on the weather conditions. Typically in the Netherlands it would be around 0 degrees Celcius, which often meant it could rain and then suddenly freeze during the night, so slippery in the morning. I crashed hard once before using this tyre, but afterwards never crashed again, since my from tyre would slide away in a corner. Back tyre I only used a couple of times during longer periods of snow, when snow became more like ice…
