That's one thing you can always rely on on a board like this!
I've 'free camped' in this country a fair bit, but have no knowledge of Europe mainland. On own, I think camping can be a bit dodgy, I haven't always felt safe, but in a group or even just a pair, I'm sure safety is upped tenfold.
As for sleeping bags, I'm no vegan, so not sure how they stand, but Snugpak have always worked for me. They're not the cheapest, but small and warm. Failing that, a British Army issue bag and bivvy is warm as fook, just a bit big.
I'm working near Lincoln at the moment, but it changes quite regularly, I am pretty much of no fixed abode - which makes it so much easier to leave.

Burdy - I've got a DRZ400SM, what model is yours ? only had it a few weeks but it's great fun, and after a few modifications I'm sure it'll be a good tourer.

I'm riding an 'S,' I've only had it for 2000 miles (after p/xing my old sports bike) but I'm enjoying it. I can ride it below 100 mph and have fun - a revelation! Good for my license and my life expectancy. Just wish the tank was not so damn bone! I cant't justify £350 for an Aquiline when that money could be a month spent living in India.

The best tactic is to wait until late afternoon, spot a good overnight bivvy, then go somewhere like a cafe for a couple of hours, warm up, use the facilities

Glad I'm not the only one to do this. Makes me feel like a total pikey - but makes so much sense!
Joel
