I recently completed a cycle camping tour in the Cevennes in France. The tour took 6 days and covered about 420km.
There were three of us in the group - one large wheeler, one Moulton TSR and my own Moulton APB.
We wild camped 4 nights, used a campsite 1 night, and stayed in a "Hutte" 1 night.

To celebrate Dr. Alex Moulton's 90th birthday and his great work on bicycles, Japan's Moulton bicycle enthusiasts and the importer Dynavector are going to hold an exhibition specialized for Moulton bicycles.
There will be over 50 Moultons from the very early models, rarities such as a Moulton Marathon and examples from the S-range, and the latest models including a SUPER SPEED, as well as many specially built Moultons.
A very rare occasion to see the whole history of the development of Moulton bicycles.

A huge crowd – including former TV presenter Roger Cook – descended on Bradford on Avon on Sunday to celebrate the birthdays of two of the town’s most respected residents with exhibitions on their working lives.
Bradford on Avon Museum’s trustees planned the event to coincide with the landmark birthdays of Marcos founder Jem Marsh, who marked his 80th birthday on April 15, and engineer Dr Alex Moulton, who turned 90 on April 9.

To honour the achievements of Dr Moulton, who invented the Moulton bicycle and designed the suspension for the original Mini, an exhibition looking at his engineering career was opened at the West Barn on Sunday, and will be moved to the library foyer this week where it will remain until May 7.
Dr Moulton, who still lives in Bradford on Avon, said: “This was an extremely important event. The exhibition will interest the young people. The future lies with the young people. They must learn to make things.
“It’s a fantastic way to celebrate our birthdays, but it’s more important for the younger people.”
The exhibitions were organised by Bradford on Avon Town Council, the preservation trust and museum.

Thanks to Paul Butterfield for these photos from the Moulton Bicycle Club meeting and club ride, at Bradford on Avon, on April 25th. The meeting celebrated Alex Moulton's recent 90th birthday, and coincided with the exhibition celebrating the engineering career of Dr Alex Moulton, at the West Barn, Bradford on Avon.

As previously discussed on this site, the life of Dr Alex Moulton will be celebrated at the West Barn in Bradford-on-Avon from April 25th-28th.
While it had been planned to display Dr Moulton's new MDev bicycle at the exhibition, this is no longer the case, as the bicycle is still in the final stages of development.
The new Moulton 60 will be displayed instead.
