If Wapping wants to preserve his reputation as font of all knowledge in respect of European touring and virtual Tour Dad, he needs to buy a few thousand copies and hand deliver them to all the UKGSers with more than 1,000 posts.
As he has so far failed to do so, I think we should all continue to send requests along the lines of "I need to get from A to B via C, in an undisclosed time period, at an unknown time of the year. What biker friendly accommodation with secure parking should I use?"
