Probably taking the boat over to South Stradbroke Island and camping a few nights in the tent. It's hard when you have to try and split time in the boat and time in the Swan becuase I can't tow them both at the same time! Its a tough life but I'm sure I'll manage 8)

To work. After the zombie horde has returned from whence it came, then we will venture out.
Oh I just love this new not being tied down to school holidays gig ... ah the serenity.

Agreed rumpig. Totally cool. Great video. I'll be happy if it looks half as good. Challenge is coping with the heat as koshari said, yet wearing enough to protect you in the event of a spill. ....

Then another trip after visit home to hit the washing machine, but not sure where yet.
Got an important count down first, 18 sleep till I leave Scotland for home......

So Sweet. I did the karakorom pass from china years ago on a old bmw. Awesome stuff. No fancy cameras then.
Have fun. Heat no prob, but carrying enough to be warm whilst riding at 15000+ feet is a different story. Plus the good old altitude headaches. Take plaenty of nurofen :)
-
Thanks for the tip re altitude headaches. Would rather do it on an old boxer but enfields are the only option.
Will add to nurofen to my monster gasto pack....(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/17/nuhuzu6e.jpg)
