Re: BB200 2023
I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not embracing being wet and uncomfortable, it would have made for a more enjoyable ride Ha ha, I think the only time any sane person embraces that is when they are sitting comfortably in front of the fire enjoying their favourite tipple and recounting the fact that t...

Re: BB200 2023
What I didn't enjoy: - - the GPS track: possibly an issue with my Garmin but I found it very inaccurate in places, leaving existing trails to go to nothing. That meant that I started to constantly doubt the track especially when there was a lack of established trails and wasted time trying to under...

It'll be hard to add to the story with what's been written so far but I'll try to add a few more words if anyone is still interested! We were lucky.

Re: What are you listening to now?
Not listening to as such but I bumped into the drummer from EMF yesterday. Had a good chinwag, he's started collecting vintage drum sets, mostly wood framed and has moved into a place local to me.

There's a number of Boners, generally leaning to the tramp side of things, who seem to be willing to occasionally have Reg along with them...
