    Pitch tent and put bike and gear in cabin.If it rains (bad) move into cabin.

    Most cabins are only twice the price of tent .Im sure they wont mind you pitching beside it also.

    wow your tent looks like a mansion and your bike looks like a limosene. the oven on the table little small tho. Do you wear a cave man suit when u camp i was thinking that might be a neat idea.

    It's not a problem ... it's a paranoia ... yours.

    I haven't heard of anybody getting their tent/gear stolen off their bike.

    Leave the bike in VERY public places ... in front of places where CCTV WILL be operating. (You figure out where they are ... it's not rocket science)

    If everything is in black rubbish bags ... valuable stuff is out of sight ... who knows WHAT they may hold.

    Apparently so, the planet is flat, so it must be up there.

    some camping grounds have lockable cabinets where you pay a fee $2? for a day,
    Airports also have lockers, as do some major bus depots.
    And dont underestimate the local laundry mat.
    I have had the need in the past to leave baggage with them for small fee.
    Your options are only a short as the steps taken to explore them
    To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
