If you're camping, you don't want to send them to B&Bs! Post Offices aren't a good idea in my view. I charged stuff up whenever I could. I recommend a double USB three pin plug from Maplins - you can then charge two items maybe in a pub - phone and mp3. It doesn't work on e-readers!

Do you have them mailed to B&Bs? Or do you stop of somewhere in a small town along the way? Any advice on resupplies on the LEJOG would be very much appreciated! Also when did you get a chance to charge your electronics? Thanks!<br /><br />-TallulahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274165436127699750.post-48270986431550832782010-05-08T22:39:52.381+01:002010-05-08T22:39:52.381+01:00I've had an Aquagear for two years, and it'...I've had an Aquagear for two years, and it's still going strong after quite a bit of use. I think you have a bargain.<br />I think Alan and Shirley must do much more walking than me; after 'gearing up' for the Challenge three years ago, my only new item this year was a pair of boots - I do seem to get through those rather quickly - they tend to give up at around 1000 miles, whereas everything else lasts much longer. A bit like car tyres, I suppose!<br />Anyway, best of luck on the Challenge - have a good one.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.com
