Hi Mark,

Emailed you regarding shipping dates from Immingham, not sure if you got it as I'm away at the moment with intermittent wi-fi. If you get a chance could you let me know outbound and inbound dates to get the bike to and from Immingham?

Thanks and hope to confirm ASAP

Toddy

Mark

Excellent. If you have any kit list to share pls do ping it over as some of the camping stores are doing Black Friday deals.. I need gadgets and toys and lots of them.

You need good quality light 2man tent, sleeping bag that keeps you nice and cosy down to -5, good roll mat. Cooker

I understand some have been asking for a basic 'kit list' so will get one together soon and Mark will email it out to those going

Meanwhile ........ I'm hoping the weather changes before July, this is what it's like now

Is it me or does that look like sponge bob square pants carrying a lobster ?

Looks like Scotland today that does!

Sooo jealous of this trip, something I will do at some point though..

Think you need to up the meds.

Oh that Iceland !

I thought we were riding through a frozen food shop. Thought it was a bit pricey, just assumed we get a variety pack of vol au vents on the way out. Relieved that won't have to deal with Kerry katona.

Check out this video. I rode parts of Iceland earlier this year, including the Westfjords and bits of the Highlands. The guy in the second half of the video, Hjortur Jonsson, was our guide - absolutely top bloke but mad as a box of frogs...
