You made me chuckle when you said about Robs sat nav , hope you don't loose him , I took a newbie with me once and to be fair apart from being very slow he didn't do to bad. But we did get split up for a bout 2hrs and when we finally got to gether by pure look you could tell he was passed off. Looking forward to the next installment.

Yeah we was split for about 40mins but luckily by chance we met up at next toll booth he had absolutely no maps or navs and phone didn't work so would of been proper fecked if we never met back up

(that was a citation!), now back to our regular program, and Germany was quite nice, not perfect weather, but still better than Spain! The B500 was nice (lot's of brits).

Anyway, turns out i'm not going anywhere this summer, I had a fall in the Sussex woods while walking my brothers Dog at Easter and have damaged my knee. Forced to do just the local Swiss roads later this year. So Wales has been cancelled till June '24. Have fun, ride safe and take care of that cold/hay fever.

Good idea to change the 'planned route' in my opinion, one thing to get caught in the rain, madness to drive into it knowing it's going to be poor for days, when you can just change the plan. That's one of the joys of doing your 'own thing'. If it's not working change i. 👍That's some miles in a day! It would have been 'interesting' on the R9T 👍 I think I'm just about done at 300 in a day these days, and that's too many some days.😉

@@TinsonTour My old Honda will do around 200+ miles on a tank, so I never knew what 'fuel anxiety' was until they introduced this new E10. I need the 'Premium'' stuff, you'd be surprised how many places don't keep it, especially in 'remote' parts of Wales (lots of Texaco stations, and I've yet to find one that keeps it, although they do 'make' one apparently.) Started looking at 150 miles last week, (Aberystwyth) I was still looking at 205 miles, eventually happened upon a small Shell station in the middle of nowhere near Llandovery.

You probably found out that petrol in France is more expensive than the UK. I check the price at Tesco at Ashford and the Total Services after the tunnel in France to see which is cheapest. The news was and still is full of the thunder storms and flooding in Southern France, so you were wise to avoid it.

It’s almost impossible to not drink beer in Germany ,they treat it like we treat tea or coffee . The foreman on the German building site where I worked back in the day ,used to come around flogging ice cold beers while we were working . We were virtually permanently pi55ed up . I never owned or used a sat nav in my life ,I have enough trouble trying to work out what buttons do what on my bikes dash screen ,me & modern tech just don’t get on .
