Hope you enjoy the trip and that you have a happy time doing this venture.<br /><br />Many thanks for your encouragement. It means a lot to me when people leave such comments especially when they know what it is like from personal experience, so thank you for doing that.<br />Maggie X<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-84884408290726456772011-08-16T17:57:45.038+01:002011-08-16T17:57:45.038+01:00Wish you a nice ride from GibraltorWish you a nice ride from Gibraltorchibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601803334608365440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-62392998660348209932011-08-16T01:37:33.517+01:002011-08-16T01:37:33.517+01:00I am looking forward to the trip reports and how w...I am looking forward to the trip reports and how well the solar charger works. Maps are good...I think. Just as we arrived home from our last little trip, our GPS went on the fritz and will not turn back on.rlove2bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782706385799656897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-79349674406544342602011-08-15T19:21:18.698+01:002011-08-15T19:21:18.698+01:00Hah!

As I'm reading of your love/hate relationship with computers, I happened to glance to the right and see the ad for ITT-Tech.edu prominently displayed!<br /><br />I'm wondering if they've managed to scan your posting and target the advertising based on your content?<br /><br />Anyway, maps are good. Just mail them home to yourself when you're done with that section.Tracy Whttp://www.springfieldcyclist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-74605106118094591622011-08-14T21:36:04.586+01:002011-08-14T21:36:04.586+01:00ooOOoo I love maps.

(I also like to look at them just to see all the silly place names)<br /><br />As you say though, they are a pain to carry so I hope that you can sneak some into your friends panniers to save you some space. ;-)<br /><br />Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck for your BIG ride. It sounds like an epic adventure.KatieCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053869512134441832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-26088608847593871592011-08-14T20:30:17.729+01:002011-08-14T20:30:17.729+01:00I shall put on some Miles Davis while you are gone...I shall put on some Miles Davis while you are gone.limomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392808188162372410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-80692143917812046002011-08-14T16:22:22.544+01:002011-08-14T16:22:22.544+01:00Using a map - respect!

I am completely in the thrall of my sat nav (which often gets it wrong) because I never know if a map is upside down or not.Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-35002490716015300352011-08-14T06:25:53.035+01:002011-08-14T06:25:53.035+01:00Yes, I also think we still need old styles maps to...Yes, I also think we still need old styles maps too on our travels.<br />Have a lucky trip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
