Worked out that my baffles are removable.

Lots of benefits with old Hondas.

Nice! Wish my had been as simple as removing some baffles out of it. Look forward to hearing it on our travels

I can now confirm the the two extra friends of ours that were going to join can no longer make it, as he had an accident (car not seeing him at a roundabout) and now has a fractured shoulder. Poor bugger!

Becca and I can't wait however!

In the top right corner of the maps page there's a button that looks like a chain. That will give you a link with the route. Handy to click the Short URL part too.
