Some IMPORTANT practical information:
- When you arrive, stop by our desk before setting up your tent: we’ll give you a bracelet and all the necessary information.
- If you’re not staying with us, it’s okay. BAM! is free and open to everyone. No need to register.
- Stop by the BAM! desk and leave us your email: it’s an easy way to stay in touch. In our newsletter, we share travel stories, information, and of course, keep you updated on upcoming BAM! events.
- Do not leave your belongings unattended and bring a bike lock: we provide barriers to secure your bike, and there will be guards day and night, but it’s always better to be cautious.
- It has rained a lot these days, as you know, so the tent area will be damp/wet: bring a plastic tarp to place under your tent.
- Bring a headlamp: we are in a park, and it will be dark at night.
- Bring toilet paper and soap: we provide them, but they always seem to run out quickly.
- Bring mosquito repellent lotion: 🦟
- The weather might be variable, so bring both sunscreen and a hat (🏖️🏜️🏝️ optimistic moment) and a rain jacket (🌦️🌦️🌦️ pessimistic moment). Anchor your tent well with stakes.
- There will be toilets and showers, which we have rented specifically. Please help us keep them clean (there will be a dedicated person) and try to use little water.
- There are still some last-minute tent spots and some pre-set up tents, which you will find already set up, in case you want to travel light with just a sleeping bag and mat. You can find everything on our website.
- There will be various food points for all tastes. Of course, there will also be beer.
See you in Mantova: it’s time to pedal.
