Hi folks,
done the staffordshire military aboretum many a time, being ex military, it's a must go to place. Unfortunately/maybe not, I'll be enjoying (covid willing) the delights of Spain and Potugul again in May - June, and I can't bloody wait!! Enjoy your trip and I hope the rain gods are kind to you, but I'm not giving up the sun for a rainy day in Staffordshire

Welcome along Joe, R & G racing do a radiator guard and a few other items for the 1400GTR.

regards

Anyone interested in a brittany ferries unguided October 2021 tour of Spain and Portugal.
I've opted for a last minute short but costly blast down to Portugal through Spain. It is short notice, as it's a spur of the moment thing. approx. £1800 for 4* hotels B&B, return ferry and own cabin and rooms, dates yet to be confirmed, 7 - 11 nights. likely more suitable for experience travellers, as I tend to get on with it pace wise, tolls and other meals extra. Need to be self reliant if we travel at a different pace, see you at the hotel kind of thing.
   

Basecamp for me with a mix of best biking roads in europe. Still have to check every inch to avoid Garmin eppies. Quite happy to down load 17 days worth of a trip to memory cards from basecamp but never more than one day at a time. Had it once when I put a weeks worth as one journey. Dam thing recalculated half way through the last day of the trip and added 400 miles to the days destination. Turned it into quite a gallop. I never allow it to recalculate once the custom route has been installed as it will scrap the route you've spent months planning for either fastest, shortest or twisty depending on twat navs settings.

Rusty,

if the timing is right re harvest/planting (for me) I'd be in for houseshare rather than hotel if it's cheaper or considerablely better quality.

You got it in one Tony, Once I'd committed there was no turning, just resigned myself to staying upright and ride the 11 miles around to where I'd started. I should have looked at the route rather than excepting it out of hand. Isn't the first and I'm sure not the last time I get the garmin adventure route when not expecting it.

Sorry about the last day lead out of tyndrum going pete tong. Garmin had an 11 mile goat track garmin adventure for me before going in the right direction. Thank's for everyones efforts, made the trip. 

Just received email from Tyndrum reminding of booking details, included was check in from 1600hrs to 2000hrs.
If arriving early best to let them know.

3 to 4 pm coming from Broadford - skye via applecross.

Re the deposit, they probably trust you!

Jennifer said a Steve Young had a booking, I said we were part of the same group. I'm not sure if we're eating in the restaurant or the pub. Probably be more room in the restaurant if the pub is as busy as they expect, apparently they've been inundated. 

Twin in the lodge booked evening meals in the Inn 1830hrs each evening buggers took £15.00 deposit for table for two for each evening.

Couldn't help myself, need the break,  booked Tyndrum in the rain and strung it onto the back of a few days in the highlands. Should be soaked, frozen, filthy and fleeced by the time we (got a buddy coming on his BMW just to keep the score even) arrive at Tyndrum - can't wait - Bonny Bloody Scotland here we come.

Same as mine bud. Not a great looking tread patern, hopefully they'll perform well.
