The photos sit on a HDD at home, and i occasionally look through them. My plan/idea (nothing has been actioned yet) is to try and incorporate reviews of my trips with photos & videos in to something touristy/review like. My aim is to try and work with local tourist boards, councils, attractions etc and see where it goes. I still have a full time job so this will be a developing sideline in the background, and something to keep me busy.
Good luck with that, exciting times!
A particularly pleasant forum member did something similar (ish) with a service called MotoGoLoco , their USP was biking and routes attached to the holidays. Might be worth checking them out or seeing how they built the brand if you can.

Yes, i remember the Guy doing it. One of the members off here/a friend worked for them for a period (it wasn't happy sailing of what i gather).

My aim is to keep it a bit more open/general on the accommodation & routes.

Ah, did not know that.

Wider audience there, good luck with it. Post a few pics/samples when you get going.

That is excellent

I've had that dang shanty in my head all day, the pirate in me is liking this trend but imagine we'll all be sick of it soon.

Why didn't I get one of these ages ago? My new favourite tool.. the impact screwdriver. Worked a treat removing some small cross head bolts that were stuck on the DRZ carb. A few light but definite taps (instead of one large hit) and the bolts turned quarter of a turn loose and could be done by hand after that. Saved getting the dremel and left handed drill bits out.
