New Rucksack test

Got the Raidlight Evo rucksack for my Birthday recently, Thanks Karen & Pete!!

However took it for a 'test' this eve, and put around 2kg in the back and 2.5kg in the front. back, Superb! you can compress it up and it work brilliantly. The front kept bouncing around like mad. Can't find anyway of securing it for running. Maybe i had too much weight in it, or it needs to be full to get the compression right...

Works perfectly when i'm walking, but i plan to run in the desert.. Will find a solution i'm sure.. will fill it properly at the weekend, light stuff in the front. heavy in the back..

Well, Southport was beautiful yesterday, Massive sand dunes to pick you way through, and it being loose enoughh to get a feel for what they'll be like in the Sahara. All i can say is Tough, and energy sapping! I'll definately be heading over again, and great as my mates 'in laws live 5 mins away from them.
After some fun  (see link to video of my attempt to 'sand surf') along thebeach running it was time to head home.
That meant cycling across to Omskirk, down through St Helans, and onto Newton le willows. then down across the ship canal and back to Sale. nice 47 mile ride, in about 3 hrs..

Today, rest day. Heading to my sis's for the day to collect my birthday present of an Evo 2 Raidlight rucksack! :)

Hi,
Well, night on some super strenght belgian beer at the new 'Steamhouse' in Sale last night has left me a little dehydrated this morning.
Heading over to southport soon with a friend to go running on the sands, and cycling back. No idea how far it is, but a good 40 mile i reckon.

Well, First time i've ever posted a 'Blog' so lets see how it goes....
Training is going well, and will report back soon

Carl.
