Devall Travels

Pepe is ready to roll, only needing a top up of petrol before heading off to the Shuttle on Wednesday morning. Before then I have a day at work,  a day work from home and a visit to the hospital to see about a hearing aid. Then I need to pack. The weather forecast looks pretty good so I'll need to get out the sun screen. And the insect repellant. Clothes? I like the idea I read about in a magazine of simply taking old stuff and binning it rather than carrying it about.  I'm sure I have pants and socks that could fill that role! The Saddlemen bag is pretty huge for one person so the panniers can be used to carry heavier low down stuff.  Our Czech hosts like wine and live in a wine producing area. So taking English eine might seem like selling sand to Saudi but I am sure with enough bubble wrap I can get a few bottles safely 800 miles across Europe. It might need a few days or weeks to settle before drinking. What else?

A lot of pictures taken on Route 66 this summer. I have saved them to Flickr where they can be seen by eveyone. Click here.

I sent these to the wrong blog and rather than re-type or cut and paste.... here are the links. http://invictamoto.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/fwd-somme-commemorations-day-one.html http://invictamoto.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/the-somme-commemorations-day-two.html

It rained. It was sunny. But it was a great day at the Ulster Tower for the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Some pictures.
