Re: Touring overseas 2021
The medium term problem is likely to be the recurrence of variants because every time one appears there will be a period of uncertainty whilst the medical specialists confirm that the vaccine works for that particular strain. Meanwhile there could be temporary border closures, travel bans and lock d...

Re: Touring overseas 2021
You probably won't get insurance - travel or health, unless the pandemic is declared clear by the WHO.

Re: Gopro / ipad advise
I question the need to edit video whilst touring. Tablets are not known for great video editing capability plus you are adding weight and volume to your bags. ..... It must depend on the output the individual is seeking. If e.g. a sequence of clips showing the highlights for the day/week (passing c...

Re: Trangia gas burner v cheap Chinese version
I've still got a Triangia which was bought circa 1978. Still works tho' hasn't been used for a few years now. The seal ring will be persihed I guess.

Trekking bars may give you more choices for hand positions and orientations.

Re: EU VISAs after Brexit
We are almost at a stage where this thread can be unstickied and a new, factually correct, sticky created.
The new post could cover:
EU Visa requirements for UK citizens,
Info on Schengen areas,
Proving movements in and out of Schengen countries,
EHIC or equivalent.
Anything else?

Re: Alcohol Consumption Guidelines: Do you care?
My Father was a very heavy drinker, always in the pub and never drank at home. It caused my parents to divorce and he died at 57 years old of cancer of the aesophagous. That was in 1992. He was a tough, burly bricklayer with a good sense of humour and sharp wit and the bonhomie of the pub atmospher...

Re: Touring Applecross on SA AW?
The other point about that peninsula is the costal road north of Applecross can be harder than the Beallach itself. It follows the coast and includes numerous down and ups at burns/streams. Typically the bridge is on the apex of the U bend so you can't carry speed onto the uphill. It saps the legs q...

Re: dumb or smart
I ran a smart turbo for a while. Typically "smart" means that the trainer is ERG, that is, the trainer can automatically adjust the resistance on the fly wheel in response to a software app which has been connected to the trainer. This helps simulate hills and hence harder effort which we ...
