Best friend and his wife is going to be doing one of those
bicycle tours around the same time. Yes, I'm very wishing I
could go--been to Ireland a number of times and absolutely love
it. Could settle down and live there very easily.
Last September I went backpacking on Isle Royale and took a
larger kit than I probably should have. My back definitely says
I took too much. I took two bodies, 24/2.8, 35/2.8, 50/3.5,
100/2.8 and 200/4. The thought of packing just the IS-3 crossed
my mind a few hundred times while hiking. Oh, did I mention the
monopod, tripod and XA?
Plan on taking half of what you'd think is your minimum kit and
take half of that.
Now, to go get on my bike...
