Re: No tea, no coffee, no hot chocolate.

Now just hold on a minute Ray and get a grip, the thought of a wild camp without a brew is enough to make

Re: Route planning, how do you do yours?

Have just used JustGoRide to plan WRT, it a lets you use 1:50 and 1:25 scale mapping plus an aerial view option, you can then save to a garmin or save the gpx file, I save the file and then transfer to satsync to load on my satmap gps.
