Russia, is off, or rather postponed
Gutted. It’s about the only word I can come up with to cover off how I feel about Russia having to be postponed until next year – take a look at the site for the whole story – http://www.journeytorussia.co.uk/2007/07/02/taken-a-knock/ I’m just going to stick my head in the sand and see what else I can…
Love the school Summer Holidays
My commute to work this morning was dull. It wasn’t the usual cascade of sleepy car drivers sipping their tea from silver thermos mugs and swerving as they mis-judge the gulp hole and spill it down their pristine shirts. It was divine. The roads were empty, the filtering was fun, and the weather thankfully staid…
Powering on
There’s no doubt the modern traveller carries more gizmos and gadgets than the first Apollo missions. That of course brings it’s own problems; how on earth do you keep everything charged and running?

Ineresting review Matt. i am wondering how practical it is pitching in wet European summers, as i don’t see how you can keep your sleeping kit dry. I hope you will comment on you experience after your Russia trip.
Hi Barry,
Yes well in the end we didn’t take the swag bag… for that very reason. It did get a wet weather test – http://www.thelondonbiker.com/blog/?p=170 – which basically confirmed that you’ll keep bone dry overnight.
The canvas is really water-proof. But when you roll it up during the day the water works it’s way through the material and gets your kit wet.
So in the end I went for a very new and shiny Tatonka Kiruna – http://intranet.tatonka.com/infosys/infocgi/artinfoe.dll?2600&0
Which performed perfectly.
