    Hi guys
    Some great posts / pics, enjoyed viewing and look forward to sharing ours, our pics not as stunning tho but personal and tell a story.
    At F1 hotel Calais, ferry at 0900 then 185 miles to Dorset, journey ended.... Been awesome, many highs, couple lows.
    Lots of people talking of black forest, guessing that's not a gateaux? Need to learn more. Couple lads here rode there and done bit of Italy / Austria.
    Sooo want to be back out here later in the year.
    See my dog tmrw, that a good thought!
    Right, busy packing tins of chilli oil sardines and what little wine we could mange to take back.
    Cant really remember what normality was but its gonna give us a big whack in the face tomorrow.
    Bon Soir :confused:

    I've had a quick word with Dorset County Council and they're putting the finishing touches to a new landfill site where you might just about be able to dump that Ventura gear.

    You'll thank me.

    good to hear you are both home safe.

    When you do your write up be aware that you can only have 10 images per post, what some do is write it in word or similar in chunks then post them up in one go.

    Glad the ventura luggage served you well...

    Took MacBook into PCWorld to get charger checked out as had probs away, now Mr Apple is keeping it until 6th July. Bloody gutted, no pics to show off, no start write up, no music / movies...,
    Feel I've been stripped naked.

    Sorry to keep you waiting. :(

    Lambeth, with a proper luggage system you can take things like laptop with you, and very handy they are to have available.

    Yes. Is this where I'm told that EU power supply ruins our electrical luxuries? (Noooo)
    I did consider whether Mountain Dew or a glass of claret or two may have some connection with power failure(?)
    The lovely man at PC currys confirmed the charger wasn't the issue and as the MacBook has an integral battery I've now lost it for 2 weeks (probably to tell me it's been water damaged-as they always do regardless)

    Is this where the water-proofing properties of Kreiga come into its own?!

    & I've now got me mrs trying to prise her iPad back off me.

    Could this all get any worse? :confused:
