Equipment

As Dave and I enjoy the outdoors lifestyle of biking, kayaking and camping, we are fortunate enough to already have much of the equipment that we will need along the way – however some of it does need updating. This is a list of equipment that we envisage we will need en-route.

 

Bikes

Bike Parts

After much deliberation we have decided our trusty mountain bikes probably won’t hold up to the demands we will be putting on them.

Both of us have now purchased second hand steel Specialized Rockhopper frames which we are in the process of building up.
