Food tips
OK you hardy wild campers out there, give me some of your tips on what lightweight compact food stuffs you pack to take away. Bearing in mind the destination's Norway. I'm thinking easy cook pasta, dried fruit and nut mix catering pack, quick cook porridge, a 3 litre wine box, small tins of sardines.

Now, as a keen advocate of not posting after alcohol has been consumed, I shall make this an exception. Having just watched a most delightful sunset over the Pyrenees and seeing off a rather fine bottle of Merlot, which cost me nearly £2 I hasten to add, I feel that it's my duty to solve this damn f...

You only mention two years, those being 2000 and 2005, and make it clear that you owned the bike for the duration of both those years. You make no mention of the intervening years, so are we either to assume you also owned the bike during the entire period between those years, or sold the bike at th...

Advice request from Norway & Nordkapp visitors
Can anyone who has travelled up to the Nordkapp in recent years, tell me how easy (or not) it is to find accommodation, either campsite chalets or affordable hotels in Norway (under a £100 a night) by just rocking up in a town in the early evening, in late June/early July? My mate won't camp, and I ...

Re: Simple glove question
My only experience with unlined leather gloves, used to leave me with black hands when the dye leached with sweaty palms. Pretty sure they were not waterproof, but you could always give them a good coating of something like Nikwax I guess.
