Re: Dales Divide whilst fasting!!
i reckon it is possible Shaf but you'd need to train your body for it. It's a process which can take a while and isn't always pleasant.
Might be worth chatting to Richard Shaf.

Re: Torino-Nice Rally logistics - tips?
Chew and me flew to Milan as it was much cheaper than flying into Torino from Manchester. Rode mostly through the night and the following morning to arrive like fresh daisies ready for the off the following day. Flew back from Nice. Carried CTC plastic bike bags with us which we'd cunningly modified...

If you go down to the woods ...
Apparently, this is a picture taken by a dog walker who says a strange creature was following him in the woods not far from Aberystwyth. Wasn't one of you lot doing yoga was it? https://www.cambrian-news.co.uk/tindle-static/image/2024/01/12/13/16/hoax%20email.jpg?width=669&height=445&crop=66...

When I was up between Xmas and New Year, the coffee was noticeably dead when using the lovely soft water out of the tap at my folks. You need some minerals, just not as many as I have down here...

Re: OT: Large travel bag recommendation
I may have one going spare Dave. Dee bought it for going on the back of her motorbike but it turns out not to be 100% waterproof. I'd need to check that it has wheels though.

The cheery news is it's not raining and I've managed to remove the faulty (totally jammed) ignition barrel from the van - don't you just love sheer bolts, especially when they're fitted in a confined space and recessed

Re: How much grief can I expect?
Except it's not high enough - more like sitting in a car than a van which causes hip issues. If you do buy a Kangoo, I'd avoid the 1.5DCI unless it has very low mileage, many self destruct not longer after 100k.Might do you right?

Re: How much grief can I expect?
Thanks all. The back story is that Dee would like to replace her NV200 but the criteria is: Van type size. Must fall into the 'mpv' category so can do 60 rather than 50 and cheaper insurance etc. Not a camper. Needs rear seats (see point above). Automatic as a clutch aggravates her hip on long trips...

Re: UK stamps for overseas users
Could it not just be done on-line Bob? Person in France buys postage for UK to France on-line, prints label and attaches it to envelope or whatever. Packages envelope and posts that from France to the UK. You put 500g of crack into envelope and drop it off at the post office. Sorry if I misunderstand.

Sixty some riders have left the building and are now enjoying a reasonably pleasant afternoon in the hills, pubs and cafes. Forecast is for a cold but dry night, so that's a bonus.

Re: adding layers equation against cold ??
I think it'd be hard to get a meaningful answer that's not pure guesswork as there's so many variables to consider. Examples - wind speed / chill, raining or dry, tight fitting or loose layers, are your base layers tucked into your socks and is your top tucked into the bottoms to help avoid convecti...
