The Team

We are to complete the ride in September, we being myself, Cognac (of course), Saffy the dog and Samaal the grey pony. I'm planning on mostly riding Samaal, with Cognac playing pack pony and Saffy official hot water bottle. At the moment we are experimenting with different equipment (I've been down the army surplus store, it's a treasure trove!) and also with wild camping and the associated problems of carrying enough feed for two horses, a person and a dog, if we were to camp out for a few nights. When I sort all the little challenges, this will make us more adaptable and self sufficient.
