Great write-up, thanks. Northern Germany in the dregs of winter. You are braver than I am.
Had some leftover vacation to get rid of. Would have preferred a bit later as well 😀
Dries quick after washing? And solid? I’ve got this idea that wool is less resistant to abuse than synthetics but maybe it’s wrong. Would love to ditch plastic socks.
Regarding the merino socks: I did not wash them on the trip. The socks are a blend, so not 100% merino. More like 40% I think. That’s meant to make them more durable (as far as I unterstand). Got mine at decathlon - no dedicated biking socks or anything, just some random merino hiking socks. The merino shirt I have is also a blend and it holds up very well.
But inaudible because of wind when going much over 15 kmh, I imagine?
Also with large vehicles coming by, yes. Didn’t want to wear earbuds though.
It’s a Naturehike Cloud Up 2. Yeah I did some research about tents, and there is quite some money to spend. When I discovered this tent I just went with it and did not regret it! There is a channel on YouTube that does some nice tent reviews - you should be able to find it when looking for naturehike tents.
Thanks for the tips! Pour over could be just the right thing for me.
Sandals with sock… glad so see I’m not the only German here 😂
All the best for your next trip!
