Email me. Lets talk tours! I can probably help you with UMPC choice and you can probably help me with cycling tips.

Interesting you’re going for a 12W panel. I’m testing one out this weekend.

Any, email me when you get time or we can discus in the forum (link top-middle of blog)

Was really cool to find somebody else who is also planning to do a cycle tour with a UMPC!

As Hugo mentioned I am going to do some cycle touring around Finland, and perhaps a few of the surrounding countries such as Sweden, Norway, Russia and Estonia. Trip will probably take a few months.

I will be traveling on my Birdy folding bike (Which fits in my suitcase). While cycling I will carry luggage, including camping gear in a trailer from carryfreedom.com model “city”.

Anyway, I will start my journey to Finland on the 31st of May.

Will be interesting to keep an eye on your blog! I will also setup up a page for my journey too.

One of my readers is doing something similar in Finland and suggested <a HREF="http://www.powerinverter-shopping.com/" REL="nofollow">this company</a>. My reader actually bought a solar panel on <a HREF="http://stores.ebay.com.au/POWER-JACK-SHOPPING-STORE" REL="nofollow">their Ebay store</a>. <br/><br/>Thoughts this might interest you. Hey Chippy!

This is great and another “real world” experience is exactly what UMPC is looking for. One of my readers is doing something similar in Finland and suggested this company. My reader actually bought a solar panel on their Ebay store.

Thoughts this might interest you.

Carrying the UMPC without damage is one of my major concerns. I will be covering this in the blog.

Thanks, everyone, for your feeback.

I'll be keeping an eye on your progress, as I'm doing a 4-month cycling tour of NZ later this year, and am planning to bring a UMPC to keep updated and in touch on the road as well. Have you given thought to how you will [safely] transport the equipment (weather / dust / moisture, etc?)? That is one of my concerns. Ruggedizing my setup. Sounds interesting.
