  1. Thought that you must have. That’s eliminated then. ?
  2. Stupid question but does the fuel shut off cock have a filter in it? I’m sure you’ll have checked it.
  3. Yes. I realise what you mean. My memory isn’t what it used to be. I’ve forgotten what little video editing knowledge I had. It could be still captures.
  4. I knocked this together from bits on FB, a diary which gives up after a couple of days, and photos. I realise now that there was a lot of video as well on the FB pages. I shall have to do some editing before the next post. 31st Aug 2017 Said goodbye to my daughter and family near Guildford and hit the motorway down to Dover. Caught a ferry across and then rode towards Antwerp and then Arnhem. Didn’t get quite as far as that and stayed at a campsite not far from Nijmegen owned by a biker as it happened. Friday 1st Sept. Got up to a misty morning, a wet tent and a lovely atmosphere with geese setting off to feed. Ideal time for a shower at 0700 as I was the only one about. Following my mate Titus’s advise I packed up and set off without breakfast, not even a brew. The plan was to do a hundred miles before breakfast; I managed a hundred and twenty before stopping at a rest area and having some watery/milky porridge and a coffee. Then it was over into Germany, surviving the gridlock around Hamburg after endless miles of filtering, and making it up into Denmark where I stopped for a coffee and a roll. It was then about a hundred miles or so to a campsite not far from Copenhagen. Not many photos as motorways look the same wherever they are, boring. Useful for the commute though. There was a so called rock happening there in the town. I walked over to the village square but was horrified by the density of the crowds. Little kids there as well looking frightened. I took a few snaps of the streets but kept the phone in my pocket zipped up in the crowds. Tomorrow morning it’ll be over the bridge to Sweden.

    Here they are coming back from Tregaron, before you modified the rack I think. Just a few weeks before the Scotland trip. No paint either. Ten bloody years ago!!!

    Top Members!

    Lovely photo. Like the light. This was rough. Crossing the tail end of a hurricane helping with disaster relief. We were headed for Grand Turk if I remember correctly. That's a 35,000 tonne tanker.

    Bloody hell. I remember following you going to Tregaron with the first wide boxes on. Thought that you were going to ground out, and disappear through a hedge on every corner. ??
  9. The CCM groups on FB are good. Have loads of useful tips and they’ve kept a file system of relevant information. I think a lot of them are on other forums like most of us.
  10. @Renegade That’s a good while back! ?
  11. Devil’s creatures.
  12. Looks as if the lockdown started very early over there.

    Brilliant! No wonder it’s so popular.
  14. I’m starting to get that way. On the Norway trip it was about 50:50, maybe slightly less camping. Cheap as chips in the Baltic states and Poland.
  15. I found Norway just as wet and I managed to almost get blown off the road there up on the tundra. Straight across the road but fortunately nothing coming the other way. I seriously considered stopping, but the wind eased off as I descended further on. Scary.
  16. I’m sure that others have said the same about the Klim peak. Not a good place to attach a GoPro. They’re not exactly cheap either. ?
