    That is precisely my point. Consequently the response surprises me.

    ...& yes, take lots of pics & do a ride report. If you can't be arsed with a blow by blow account just select a handful of your very best shots & put them up.

    That's the plan. I think the photo restrictions on KB make putting some effort into photography a bit of a waste of time. This is a site set up for communication where ADVRider is better suited to presentation.


    Oh well, It looks like I'm committed then but it will be on ADVRider with a link here - so just a click away. As Jamie points out, it can't be anything like the last one though.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    I noticed, but then I was able to follow your trip by other means.

    Actually, I have a surreptitious motive. You know that I rewrote the last one to try selling it as an e-book, well I wondered if this could become a final chapter so to speak.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Well people, it's under way over here:-

    http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=862557

    I'm doing it over on ADVrider because most of the photos are landscapes and they need some size to be worth anything at all.

    At current pace it will take me another week to complete it so there's no hurry to visit - hope it's what you had in mind.
