Its a good job these photos can only be used in BOTM once or your bike will be on the front page for all next year with no hope for the rest of us lol

Also some tracks are tracks, but some proper roads used daily to get to places are not surfaced or with such neglected surface that you wish they weren’t. So just get a michelin map if you ever comethis way and I’ll point you to where you want to go. Or read my report and I’ll post town names. Forget about proper gps and turn by turn navigation unless for cities and finding hotels. Don’t spread it around though, from what I’ve seen my favourite parts are mostly ignored by Morocco travellers in other forums, and it’s good that way Today I ended up not leaving Merzouga afterall, and spent the morning riding around, I’m quite happy at having ridden through oueds with fesh fesh and soft sand and not even having had to stop or use the clutch except to change gears. I’m feeling like Stephane Peterhansel on my dusty boots. Also rode next to camels, had birds come rest on my bike, and was invited for tea by some miners up in a hill. The GS is great for this afterall, and I enjoyed ridingthrough stuff I wasn’t able before. Two picture upload, that’s taken fore

You didn't really think that sentence through did you?

Two more pictures, my report will have around 450 pictures once I get proper upload speeds and time.

You will have to keep at it to keep fatty fed, she will eat two more spuds than a starving pig LOL

well with my new job, at least I know I'll always be able to get home if it snows...

They've got rationing in Cardiff now!

Bloody hell it was cold this morning. Average speed reduced by a fairly fierce and cold headwind and then one of the guys getting not one, but 2 punctures! Anyway, I think I feel better for it!

Done very little continually since 8AM Made a curry, watched tele, drank tea, couldn't even be arsed to wander around the corner and pick up some parcels, might have a glass of wine now... it's been murder

My friends say that I’m addicted to auctions but I actually stopped after going once… …going twice…

That's the First aid training over, i can now give the kiss of life instead of the kiss of death please form an orderly queue women and children first

Do you remember donkeys years ago there was a 'Dispatches' documentary about condemned meat used for pet food getting back into the food chain via a dodgy butcher? The posh school they featured who had been buying it for school meals was where Mr Slowly was at school at the time, he said running to the loo was an everyday occurrence

Fair play to you @Pedro , I'm not scared of riding sand but I'd be clenching my teeth if I were riding your big GS in stuff like that. You da man

its probably welsh

which proves eating pet food is no good for humans .... you might like the taste of it @XTreme .... but enough now

As retarded as the majority of the population who repeatedly vote for their team regardless of what they've done rather than hold whichever sleaze bags are in office to account. Although you do have to have hold right wing voting West Country people in the poorest rural areas of the country with a special regard, they'd vote for a cat's anus if it had a blue ribbon on it

I cleared my PPE and personal lockers at work yesterday. There was a large tin of dog food which is left over from the days I used to feed the yard dog Scruff after Ted died. It's been there since the dog was removed from the yard for biting people once too often. I carried it to the bins on top of a load of old diaries and old paper work, got some very funny looks from other office users that don't know me.

Barmaid in a pub I used to go in used to smear pedigree chum round her minge …. she had an Alsatian…. I’ll leave that thought with you .

Riding an Enfield that is the only type of muff you will be getting.

The place will be flooded by queers now.

Taiwanese that one. believe it or not thay are head and shoulders above the chinese in the quality stakes, more professional and easier to deal with too, but then my experience is still very limited in this domaine

Working on a customer car today... It had a sticker on the fender... GRASS.. Gaz or ass... She was cute... I almost asked her how she wanted to pay... Grass.. Gaz or ass...

What would go wrong is you'd eventually get into a tank slapper and end up eating the sand with the GS up your arse

This one’s worthy of a Simon and Lisa Thomas book… and maybe a Sir Fallsalot photo shopping

It's fucking terrible isn't it, you have to coach him through every comment he doesn't even know what year it is half the time

Ah the appearance of incompetence whilst stuffing your pockets from the taxpayers pocket. They're good at that. John Penrose (oily milksop) is married to Dido Harding who in-spite of overseeing corperate disasters in multiple companies can only fail up. Johnson and his cronies handed her for 37 billion for the track n trace shambles after which she was rewarded by being unlawfully put in charge of the NHS. I've met them a couple of times, they are not thick, just foul contemptuous pieces of shite, eye's darting around like heroin addicts looking for their next score, except it's not drugs, it's who's got money. So repellent I don't have adequate vocabulary to describe them.

And look at the fine selection of MPs Somerset boasts! As thick as pet food!

To add to Weston's supreme status the beach water quality does not reach the minimum standard for health (too much sewage dumped in the waterways) and is in the bottom 3% of the country. Weston's response.. there's no pass or fail standards for individual water samples and we've introduced signs Come on in the water's fine. Thanks Larry Vaughn

They have always done that, the Taff's are illiterate so they go by the picture on the tin, picture of a fish and they think it is fish, picture of a duck etc.

Petsmart must be coining it in!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh look where Swansea is

That’s Bollox, dog food has gone up as much as anything else

Oh dear you do seem to be a bit off form today

I have been thinking about this for days, went out for a ride yesterday to try the muffs out and because I have strapped them on so tightly for concern of them pressing on the the levers it made it really difficult to use the switch gear. Anyway I went onto Ebay and bought a set of lever guards that would also hold the Muffs off the levers. In the meantime I have a 42 mile commute to Stratton Hospital in Bude tonight. I had a thought why not strip down the RE handguards and use the frames from them, it worked perfectly and now I am kicking myself that I never thought of it in the first place. Multiple attempts at tasks seems to be my default at the moment.

Don’t forget to open your advent calendar this morning

I meant Swansea you twat I know you're not from the better end of Wales

Only because you're no longer there pete....

No reports of people eating petfood in Swansea Ian. It's just those thick Cardiff twats!

Weston-Super-Mare has some of the most deprived area's in the country. The Bournville is in the top 1% of deprived places and parts of Weston centre in the the top 2% Delightfully North Somerset also ranks third in the country for the greatest disparity between rich and poor. As a county has above average wealth.

I don't live in any of those!

A small triumph that feels like major one with the Garmin Zumo XT today. The difficulties entering the destination if the address doesn't exist or is not recognised and the sluggish map response while you find where you want to go by trying to marry up what you're looking at on google maps on the Garmin has been frustrating. Enter the Garmin Drive app. Simply copy n paste the coordinates or the address from google into Garmin Drive and it sends it straight to the Garmin. I don't understand why this app isn't mentioned, even the folk at the Garmin stand when I said I was having trouble entering destinations didn't mention it. Have tried it out with addresses, dropped pins and coordinates for the UK and Spain and it's worked seamlessly. Apparently 'what 3 words' works well with Garmin Drive too. Very happy. Only a minor thing but if you copy coordinates remember to remove the brackets that google uses before sending.

You didn't send me one

We're now into December!

There will be a picture this weekend.

Another glorious day. Suppose to hit overnight..
