At long last, after six months of toil and trouble!

Nice one Gordy, Shaz (mrs Knight) and I enjoyed reading about your trips. Giving us a clue of what to expect when we go in may. Used F1 when we went to Aussie and found them to be very good.

I got 3 Kappa boxes as part of my 25 year service award offshore, plus tyres.
We found Formule 1 fine for the French tour last year, with a couple of Ibis and Mercure stay as wee treat in between.
We went back in September in the car for a month and this time we used Etap, (same group) they weren't much dearer.
I liked the biker cameraderie in the Formule 1's but then most of the biker groups were all male!

Nicely done Gordy.
A good friend of mine who I have known for about 30 years always takes his dictaphone on all our riding, hunting, fishing trips then gets his PA to write it up when he gets home.
He takes innumerable pics as well. He's going to do a book at some stage.
I remember watching him one early morning sitting in the bush beside a river, groaning after an excess of port the night before, struggleing as he tried to remember what had happened the night before and raucous laughter from three other guys were heard on the tape.
The PA typed it all up!
He got caught out big time last year.
We always told his PA that we didn't shoot Bambies when we went hunting and like an idiot he forgot and recounted the whole story on tape!
She wouldn't talk to us for a week!
