Ovo – tandem recumbent hand built by Richard Cresswell

We sold the Ovo after 6500km as we felt it wasn’t the right bike to take us outside of Europe

Replaced with 2 x Azub Ti-fly recumbent trikes

Tent – Vango Pulsar 300 – 3 man tent at NEC camping exhibition – wanted a 3 man tent with a large foyer because we’d used one in France and liked the large foyer area – where room to store kit and sit and play cards.
Replaced with MSR Mutha Hubba after Vango fell apart. The MSR is roomier and a much better quality tent than the Vango
