    Are trumpeters less likely to go camping/doss on other people's floors
    than cyclists? Mind you having been woken by a piper on a couple of
    camping trips I can see why you wouldn't want trumpeters camping.

    Probably not - but I *know* that there are URCers who may wish to buy
    a sleeping bag. I'm not certain about RMMTers.

    I generally take a flute with me when I camp. I also take my trumpet
    and cornet mouthpieces in case I happen to stumble across the local
    brass band rehearsal in the village hall.

    I'd not take my Uillean pipes with me on my cycle camping expeditions
    even though they are sweeter sounding than the Scottish bag pipes and/or
    a trumpet.

    Just as well, they'd have more than enough puff to blow one up themselves!

    I'm a cyclist. And a camper. And a trumpeter.

    Cycling and camping are a good mix.

    Camping and trumpeting can mix, but only in the right environment ("Band
    Camp", for example).

    Cycling and trumpeting don't mix well, due to the problem of keeping the
    instrument undamaged. I've never cycled to a band rehearsal, for instance.

    However, cycling and trumpeting both result in an excellent lung capacity
    and a peak flow (of exhaled air)graph well in excess of what should be
    expected from someone of my age.

    In my madder days as a student, I used to strap a double-case (trumpet
    and flugel) to the external frame of an old rucksack, and cycle to
    rehearsals and gigs.

    I also knew somebody who had a "hack trumpet" for rehearsals which he
    slung over his back with a length of string in order to carry it
    whilst cycling.

    I regularly cycle with my saxophone. It is a little battered now but not
    significantly worse than when I left school xx years ago.

    It allows you to play those tunes that people keep requesting [1].

    [1] Anyone got the score to 'Far away' and 'A little bit quieter'?

    Bah. Back in my student days, a fellow student routinely took his
    french horn around by bike. His trailer was the most unusual piece
    of equipment involved in that.
