Re: Which maps on an Etrex?
Yes, it will load them when you plug the GPS in or there is a hack where you can copy them to your computer via a disk mount pretending to be a garmin

Re: Getting bike to Hook of Holland
Yeah in hindsight it's not too bad. But when we pissed-up-booked it we were thinking nearer £100.
Next question, is it relatively easy to cycle out of the port and Hook of Holland? I've planned a route using a Dutch cycle route planner which has hopefully got us onto quiet paths/roads.

Re: Getting bike to Hook of Holland
We don't have enough time for the Dunkirk option so I've sold one of Helen's kidneys and booked the ferry. Just need to tell her now.
ps. Chew I have some books sat on my desk that I should have mailed you about 3 months ago

Getting bike to Hook of Holland
in a moment of pissed-up-ness myself and Helen bought tickets to see the Toy Dolls in Arnhem in 2 weeks time We've decided to cycle there and back from the Hook of Holland as a penance for our alcoholic ways but the ferry option is looking quite expensive. We need to be there Saturday AM and the Fri...

Re: Bikepacking in Berkshire
Liddington Hill, Wayland Smythy are two good spots my end of the Ridgeway...but not in Berkshire
I can also point you to "The Graveyard" that Mike and Ione found, not sure I'd bivy there though.

Re: Films - what would you like to see?
I rarely make it to the end of a cycling film. But "Ride the Divide" did it for me (apart from the dodgy Alan Goldsmith takes) as it was just about the right balance of drama, scenery and making me think I could *possibly* attempt it myself. In bikepacking there are mega-heros and ordinary...

Re: Alternative Lights
Get the dynamo wheel built. It's changed my riding life never having to worry about batteries or charges. I do so much more night riding now I have an SP on the cross and MTB. Even if the bearings go I reckon I will have saved money and more importantly hassle when compared to other options.
