Re: What have you been doing, other than boating ?
Awesome hobbies! Dig the Rally Racing and the Trials Bike. Wish we had it closer to where I live. Anxious to check out your travels, Andy.
Just got back from travels out West with the family. Had a great time. One day included a 10 mile hike through fantastic desert landscape in 100 degree weather. Glad we were prepared. Otherwise, home maintenance, kid's sports, general exploration/travels and my old Jeep constantly keeps me in check.

Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Looks an awesome trip to me mate and the weather is something we over here only wish for
Andy B's trip has been great to follow ...........I did try to find a way to link it on here but I'm no techno so failed miserably

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating ?
Do you have a link you can post? I tried searching but could not find. I don't have a FB account so I was wondering if that is why.Andy B wrote:I'm in France on my motorbike.
Plenty of updates on my facebook page.
Andrew Buckell (it's all public)
If you are gon'a have a read through can i suggest you scroll back to the start as FB updates make the trip read backwards as you read down the page!

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating ?
Been travelling up from Berkshire in the motorhome, stopping in Lincolnshire, Alnwick and for the last couple of nights Dunbar - overlooking the Firth of Forth with the Kingdom of Fife on the far shore, beyond the Bass Rock and the May Island.
Looking forward to getting out on the water next week (weather and tides permitting) as the first chance to try out my new setup, which I left stored up here after acquiring it back in March. Hope to have some pics to post over the next few weeks.
cheers

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating ?
Today I did something way out of my comfort zone. I had a salad for lunch. It had fruit in it. Stupid restaurant screwed up my order, big time
. At least it was free. Now I'm going to have to go home and wash it down with bacon and gravy.

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating ?
I bought a bedrug for my Navara about 4yrs ago (cos it was mega cheap on fleabay)
I've just got round to fitting it today, and I have to say... WOW
The old Bed Liner was hard on the knees Removal left a grim looking floorpan A bit of spit and polish (better known as a jet wash) Fit the foam level pads Fit the bedrug base Zip in the sides Cook on gas mark 6 for 2 minutes and finish off with a topping of comfort I now have a carpeted "Boat House"
