CYCLING ACROSS EUROPE - EPISODE 4: ALBANIA (Sagiada to Sarande)
Enjoy this video? buymeacoffee.com/laurenandscott
In our first episode in Albania we spend 3 days off the bike exploring Sarande and Ksamil. This region of Albania is absolutely stunning. The turquoise waters, the friendly people and relatively cheap eats/drinks made this an unforgettable stop.
We visited on 9th of April 2024 which is before their tourist season ramps up, so it was very quiet and not everything was open, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time nevertheless.
Stay tuned for our upcoming episodes as we make our way towards the west coast of Ireland.
Total distance cycled so far: 669km
Countries visited: 2

    The floor area is small for a 3 person tent. You cannot have 2 people + gear inside, there is not enough space for that. This tent has interior dimensions of 152cm x 2.3m. if you take two 64cm wide sleeping pads (like Big Agnes Rapide SL Wide) then you have only 24 cm left in between the pads, not enough for your gear. It is super small for a 3 person tent. Not to mention that there is a significant angle to the sides, which reduces effective floorspace.

    If you'd like my advice, since you're using packs made out of a waterproof laminate I'd ditch the S2S compression sacks and use a nylofume pack liner to let the soft stuff occupy nooks in the bottom portion of your backpack that are otherwise created by the shape of the compression sacks. I'd also pack all your stuff in the order in which you're going to deploy it and you won't need stuff sacks pretty much at all.

    Great review! I have one, a few years old now... I got the slightly heavier fabric just so that it was slighty "tougher", and less see through. My previous tent was 2.7kg so an extra 100 grams or so was nothing, came in at 770g from memory. I used it on the Hume and Hovell track, it was great and sooo roomy. I did a couple of things different, 1) I put my gear in the 4 corners ( water in one, boots in another, pack etc in last two) it helped keep the floor "straight", I slept in the middle. 2) on the "optional" last 4 guy ropes on the tent roof, I placed stick "risers" (about 14" , 350mm high that the guy ropes went over before going down to the pegs... helps lift the tent roof at the attachment point and gives much more room inside.
