    Dunno. It's hoped that the class will run for more than
    just the first year, but it's all down to people signing
    up for it.

    At least if I do the same the season after, at least most
    of the costs will have already been met.

    I've been looking (in an idle fashion) at Hammerfest to Gibraltar
    (Hammerfest for no other reason than it's a cool name).

    Planning had reached the "Ferry to somewhere in Norway, ride to
    Hammerfest, ride to Gibraltar, ride back to Malaga, stay in the in-laws
    flat and laze on the beach for a couple of days, ride to Santander, get
    ferry home" stage.

    Ah. I should probably buy a map or two at some stage as well.

    I'm thinking of all those nice new countries that have just joined the
    EU.

    Bloody Mapsource's detailed maps run out about halfway up Sweden, and
    don't cover Norway at all.

    Germany/Austria is their Eastern limit, too.

    Not much help for doing a big trip.

  12. The local brits around here go shopping in Gibraltar. It's only a spit away.

    I'm amazed how much bad feeling there is amongst the spaniards, about
    Gibraltar. They claim to be treated like second class citizens when
    visiting there for their cheap cigarettes.

    I'd love to help financially, but I have a sneaking suspicion that what
    I can afford wouldn't make bugger all difference ... although some of
    the pit gimps might get a coffee out of it. Well, at the prices that
    most UK circuits charge, one of 'em might, anyway...
