Did it last year.... Was fantastic!

 

Partner(s) with good sense of humour. The Never Ender becomes very lonely if you and your partner don't get along.

 

Sort out your waterpoints. Don't have too much *** in there. Keep it simple.

 

Vittoria a good call.

 

800 lumen light enough, but have a good battery.

 

Know your saddle

Did it last year.
