After a trip to Norway in a converted Volkswagen T5 as well as various sightings of off-road vehicles with a roof tent it was soon clear: “We need something like that!” Initially, we wanted to have a Volkswagen Touareg Gen 1. Unfortunately, during the first test drive, we discovered that the trunk of the Touareg is not as big as expected. On the way home from this test drive by chance, we parked in a car park right next to a Land Rover Discovery 4. Amazed, we stood in front of it and noticed that this trunk is hard to beat in size. After some research, it was soon clear that the Discovery is the perfect vehicle for our application.

Sleeping bag Liner
A sleeping bag liner is a thin cloth. It is used in many huts in the mountains. The dorm rooms (the large dormitories) are usually equipped with simple blankets and pillows that can not be washed after each use. In order to maintain hygiene, guests must bring a hut sleeping bag – almost as bedding. This is also the case in some hostels or accommodations.
Climbing Shoes
Finding suitable climbing shoes can be nerve-wracking under certain circumstances.
The shoes should be as narrow as possible to ensure the best possible stance (even on small kicks). On the other hand, no toe should be pressed – and pressure points should not exist in the best case! A clean pedaling becomes an impossibility even if you have to cry aloud when the foot is loaded …
