Re: I am just going outside...
Just a quick update for any hangers on on this thread - I'm home safe and will post a ride report in the next few days...

Combination of drunken mumblings, fireworks and air raid sirens going off almost constantly... Indescribable atmosphere, superb experience

Re: I am just going outside...
Looking forward to the ride report!
If you don't mind me asking, how much did this trip set you back? Incl needed equipment but excluding the bike? |

Muffs - £45 Petrol Stove - £50 Icebreaker base layer - £50 If I were doing it again I'd buy a balaclava, borrowed one off chris and it's a lifesaver... I borrowed stuff like the winter sleeping bag that'd have cost me £100+ and never get used again, the bike already had the expensive stuff like pannier/topbox and tank bag Motels are ~£50/night and you'll be filling up with fuel every 250km at ~15euros a pop, so 150euro in fuel Channel Tunnel is £30 each way
