Help! Tent or tent bits wanted urgently
Does anyone happen to have a Terra Nova Qasar (superlite) 2 person tent? I have the tent, but left the flysheet, poles and pegs in Australia! Or, does anyone have a lightweight(ish) 2 person tent suitable for cyclo-touring I can borrow from 15/8-15/9? Thanks. Barry

Where and what distance are the stops on the A run? For those of us who don't do 200 km before-breakfast, need to know how much food to carry and if I'm going to survive. Have yet to do even a 100 miler this season
