Tent

Hilleberg Nammatj2 gt
Garry’s Hilleberg Nammatj2 GT

 

July 2015

Garry’s current tent is the Hilleberg Nammatj 2gt. A two person tunnel tent with a large vestibule, it maybe a little too large and heavy for some people but Garry likes to have plenty of room to stretch out rather than being cramped up in some tiny one man tent especially when it’s blowing a gale and raining outside! A two man tent always means that there’s plenty of room to store the panniers inside over night.

Garry brought his bike now called Passepartout for obvious reasons from SJS cycles in Bridgewater, Somerset in May 2008 and has now done in excess of 40,000 miles on it.

Andalucia

Spain and Portugal May 2015

After spending a couple of weeks cycling through Spain it was now time to reach the Mediterranean coast in Andalucia and it was downhill all the way from Ventas de Zafarraya at 920m down to Velez-Malaga at sea level. The videos a bit long and boring, it’s not been edited just speeded up! It was originally 20 minutes long but by speeding it up its only 4 minutes long now! It’s a bit like watching paint dry; Garry got bored sitting on his bicycle when he was doing it!
