I had a thought about going for a bit of a long ride somewhere and had a look at my camping gear and its all mouldy as I've not used it in quite some time.

The sleeping bag is going to be far too warm for European summers where the nightly temperatures are over 12c.

Self inflating matt is ok.

Head torch seems ok too. A red LED is great when inside the tent at night and not wanting everyone to be able to see what you're up to.

If it's over 12c at night, I'll sleep on top of the bag in my liner.
