Just heard that Ukraine has closed it's border possibly for a two week period?. Will hopefully get more info later today.

My pal who was due to leave for his cruise today has had it cancelled this morning, fingers crossed we get a bit of good news leading into the summer..

I personally have a few trips planned this summer, one was to the Picos region of Spain and the Other Ukraine with a loop back via Eastern Europe. The only thing I am concerned about is if travel insurance becomes voided, basically a guy I work with has started to do a fair few cruises each year, he...

On our trip up to Paris to watch the rugby, my son was using waze, and I had trusty old tomtom on, and together we didn't miss any fixed cameras, or the two camera cars, and a hand held device. Mind you still early days, and I cringe every time we get a mail delivery :lol: This is the type of situa...

I did a shed ton of research whilst sitting in a rice field when I had a shite load of down time on a building project out there a...

Took the Innova out for a spin today. It’s just got regular road tyres on so I wanted to see how well it would do ‘off-road’. I did a 20 mile motorway blast, some lovely small roads and then most of the Fosseway. The tyres struggled on the muddy stuff but the bikes lightweight kept it going. Lookin...

I saw XL moto had a set reduced at the moment to £39.99. Haven’t tried them but that’s a very good price!363CAC7C-AFE1-4C6B-8250-FC26D6B27EDB.png I actually have a pair of the Lomo bags that look similar but my worry long term is the durability on the stitching, I have a few ideas ref supporting st...
