Andrew,
I surely thank you for sharing the link to photos of your Scotland tour -- what a magnificently beautiful country, and you've captured it well! Pics like IMG_0145 showing that little dirt track make me long to be in such a place right now. It really is true what they say about photography capturing a moment in time, but you've managed to also catch the mood and feeling, and I can almost smell the sea. Well done! I also recognized some familiar sights on the Route des Flandres photo set, too.
I really like how you've "dressed" your Nomad...frame bags have always fascinated me, and while I have yet to try one, they seem like such a good idea, getting the weight inside the triangle and adding needed and handy storage space. Such a well-balanced load, and I see you're using a Bikebuddy for your fuel bottle. How is that working out? Looks to be a brilliant design, and the notion of removing the entire, universal-fit cage along with the bottle (leaving just the mounting pegs) is sheer genius on the designer's part.
Fantastic bike, done "just right". I enlarged many of the pics to better enjoy the details. Really well-chosen tent color for wild-camping; you're almost invisible when abed. Park the bike behind, and you'd disappear amidst the green!
Best,
Dan.
