Putting the PipeDream 800 to the test

Flights are now booked for my ‘Pipe Dream’ trip to Afghanistan’s Wakhan corridor. At the end of July 3 of us will be heading by Train, Plane, Bus, Taxi, 4WD, Yak and Foot to the upper Waghjir Valley to climb something few westerners have ever seen and I’ll be taking my PipeDream 800 with me.

Introducing the Osmosno Brothers.

Lots of people love traveling, I certainly do, but nowhere near as much as I’d like. Finding the time or excuse can be hard. Then there are others that make it their life. The Osmosno Brothers contacted us because they liked who we were and what we did, they didn’t really want anything other than to tell us what they were up to. Their up coming trip was set, single speed, fixed wheel, minimum gear from Singapore to Shanghai. Another 5 months, another 7 thousand kilometres.

Airics worth their weight in gold

Back in February Moragh was planning an extended trip travelling around the USA and was concerned that many nights spent on hard hotel beds would be uncomfortable for her. As she sleeps curled up on her side she gets sore hips and shoulders on a hard mattress. To be honest it is a use we had never thought of. The size and weight of the Wee Airics enabled her to keep within the strict baggage limits of the airlines.

10,000km cycle journey through the Andes

Rich and Sarah spent 9 months cycling through South America. A year is not only a long time to spend in the saddle, it is also a long time to spend in a sleeping bag which is why we were happy that she chose our PipeDream sleeping bag for the trip.

Ed of the Vassalopet

Ben’s cycle tour
