Here is home for the next few days. The Thumper Club got there before me and very kindly donated a dug out space for me. Very kind and friendly guys. - Kitchen
An MSR Dragonly (beacoup expensive) and an old saucepan with three bits of studding (an hours work in the workshop using scrap) made up my kitchen. Worked well, but not as well as the schnellimbiss just up the hill. - Breakfast

Every bleedin' morning! It's not as if it was hard enough to sleep in the cold as it is, without this thing sounding off. Of course, having a go ourselves was compulsory! - Panorama

Gorgeous but let's face it, you may as well own a car. - Dedome sidecar
Pretty. A sidecar really is the best possible accessory for a Rally like the Elefant. - New Beemer
This is the (then new) 1200GS BMW. Can't say I like the styling much - later, BMW issued the 1200GS Adventure which is a very attractive bike. I love mine dearly (too dearly!) but ther is no doubt it is a bit on the tall and heavy side. - Old Beemer
Ooh, I want one! I even have a tame ex-spurt living next to me who can mechanic them.
