Welcome Philip. You're on the trip. As you say, this will be number 4 for you. You must be a glutton for punishment. :D

There's a big EuroKClub contingent this year though, at the moment, we have as many H2 SXs as we have K1300Ss. :D

A bit of the wisdom of Brian is never polluting in a thread.

(I'll leave you to ponder "which Brian?" ;)  )

You're making it very challenging to not throw another classic bit of TV in reply to that!

What are you doing today, Brain?

You're making it very challenging to not throw another classic bit of TV in reply to that!

What are you doing today, Brain?

Burning trees by the dozen in an effort to stop my blood freezing.

Oh, and spending most of the day lying upside down on my worktop fitting under-cupboard LED day running lights in the kitchen.

Oh, oh, and desperately trying to thaw out my car headlamp washers which managed to pop out half way and then froze there until probably May. The bloody freeze has already cost me a new AGM battery in the car. A 2017 car at that. Swimbo's 2012 A4 is still going strong on its original battery.

Oh, oh, oh, and despite checking it was fully charged two weeks ago, the magic fag packet jump starter said 100% before connecting it to the recalcitrant motor and instantly went to zero when I connected it. Useless thifng!

Well, today is the day I set off!  :winkthumbs: I'm looking forward to meeting a fair few from on here on the trip.  Some I have met before and other who I will be meeting for the first time.



All packed up ready and counting the minutes to departure while trying to get the last few work tasks finished before I go.
