Will they need electric plug adapters for anything, not sure of the difference between Poland and Spain? Depends what they bring with them I suppose, phones and stuff are mostly USB charging now.1 point

After a very wet foggy morning by midday the weather cleared and it turned into a lovely warm afternoon, so proceeded to give the bike a wash and then a short ride around to dry it up properly. Listening to ZZ Top on my helmet wearing a t-shirt it felt really nice. I swear BMW must have brought out an old engineer from their Nazi torture days when contemplating torturing owners of this bike who wash it. I really HATE washing it, but can't stand to leave it dirty either. Looks nice from a distance1 point

I was out earlier......22C! Few cars and bikes out getting in my way unfortunately.....not happy with that. Along with the fact I got splattered with fucking insects. Here you go @Mawsley.......here's a couple of clips that I've posted 126 times before. And also take note of the fact that I don't fall off......you may want to try it sometime!1 point

I had a palm tree like that, it got eaten by Egyptian palm tree beatles, so it fell apart and I disposed of it. Now, there were hundred of palm tress starting to grow, like weeds, it was a bugger to pull them all out as they hold on way harder than normal plants. Since you cut yours down and it was innocent, lets hope that in a year there's not 50 more1 point

It’s a fucking tale of woe for the majority of people in the UK, just glad we left when we did. Certainly couldn’t afford to live there now and also couldn’t afford to move to Spain and take residencia now that the rules have changes after Brexit. On a brighter note I chopped the fuck out of a palm tree today using only a hand held blade. Always been useful with a blade ……….and the Himalayan is getting a thrashing tomorrow just because.1 point

Rode home today, from my parents place up north. I had sort of planned to go on a long 4 or 5 day long ride, but the weather was shit as of yesterday, drove an hour each way yesterday to visit a client and this was the scenery: Lots of accidents on a very rainy motorway which tells me Portuguese people forget how to drive at the first rain, second and third day is not so bad which means all the worse ones crash right away. Didn't fancy touring around in rainy small roads, and also was in quite a shitty mood so just came home for a few days. Took the coastal road which is a lot less interesting than the hills, but I didn't feel like 5 hours of rain and cold. At first, it seemed like nice enough weather but only a few kms into it the fog started and then the rain, my jacket needs to be treated for water repellence, which made me curse Dainese, didn't get wet as the rain was not prolonged though, but also didn't feel like making many photo stops so no ride report. Only one stop for a coffee near a very moody beach: They call this the "Atlantic Road", it's a very epic name for a shitty road, Australia coast of California this is not Stopped for lunch in a little spot that seemed promising but as I was getting set up it started to rain and three cars full of spaniards arrived, next week being Easter they all go on to invade everything. I couldn't take the noisy lot and, eating outside being unappealing, just got back on the bike and rode home closer to home for a nice snack by the river A TDM came and parked next to the GS Got back on the bike before it started to rain again, bought groceries on the way and made it home with a filthy bike, for another expresso as I write this1 point

When I was out last year near Arthur's Stone I thought I glimpsed a castle through the trees on my way there. I got back home and did some investigation and found out it was called Snodhill castle and had only recently been 'discovered' , I'm sure the locals always knew it was there but some bods had taken it upon themselves to reveal it to one and all. So as I couldn't go off camping I decided to go and have a look. My route took me past White Castle on the way and there is a 'White Road' near it (we call them white roads as that's how they appear on OS maps). I had tried to ride this previously from the castle end but was questioned by some walkers who told me it was a footpath. Today I rode it from the bottom end and as I suspected it is most likely not a footpath at all but a UCR (unclassified county road). You can clearly see the old tarmac surface in places but it seems that someone definitely doesn't want vehicles on it as I came across some cut down trees which had been conviniently left across the road Anyway, I carried on and stopped at White castle to have a coffee from my flask.......... The weatherman had got it wrong as it was supposed to be overcast but there was some glorious sunshine, here's the donkey basking in a rape seed field................ So after finishing my coffee and watching the Ravens flying about the castle I set off for Snodhill. It was a bit of a trek up to the castle and the sign at the bottom gave you some advice.................. I took the 'less slippery route ' as I wanted to actually get to the top. You can see that the trust has done a lot of work to reveal the castle on some very dodgy ground...............1 point

There were some big chunks of wood lying about showing the size of the some of the trees they had to cut down, my boot is for comparison ............. It was time for another coffee so I sat on a bench, it was great vista and very quiet which suited the surroundings................ Suitably refreshed I made an assault up the the tower, you can see why this castle was built here as from the top you get a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside.......... It was a pleasant journey back home as well down some lovely back roads made all the better by the fact that I managed to dodge several big showers and arrived home dry1 point

I agree Bob. one of the things i think is going to hit this generation the most is when they realise what they think is essential is just luxury , There's lads i work with that pay £50 a month for mobile phones that they think they must have, great when they live with their parents their in for a real shock when they eventually get to the real world, i remember when i first moved in with the wife (girlfriend then) i went through a stage of choosing to put fuel in the bike to get to work instead of buying an electric token for the meter towards the end of the week1 point
