Having acquired all the essentials i need there’s not a lot that i’m still wishing for. These items are mostly perishables that i need to replace from time to time. A full inventory (see equipment) has been posted showing the long list i items i lug around the world day in day out.
Individuals can still help by donating gear to the cause and you’ll also be gratefully acknowledged on the website! If you think that you might be able to assist in supplying gear required for the long days in the saddle, hungary mornings and bitterly cold nights then please get in touch. Otherwise help support the CSX by dropping a few dollars to Oxfam. We’re hoping to raise a dollar for every kilometer travelled and every dollar counts!
Once again a big thankyou to those that have helped so far!
