Well i dont think compression stockings are going to keep ya arse comfy curly try the padded bicycle shorts as mentioned above, another idea which everyone kind of poo poo's is a barrier cream such as Sudacrem or Conitrane but it can make a big difference.
I agree muckin around with the seat is a bit hit and miss, i put a gel pad in mine which made it somewhat comfier but in summer it was like sitting on an oven on a hot day and in winter would be really hard, a sheepie sorted that out though, now i just shift about a bit, left side off for a while then swap over to the right cheek, works for me.....also i personally think the mk1 seat is the more comfy from all the TDM's
Big miles are summit you may have to work up to though if you've not done em for awhile, i'm finding a 1000 miles a bit much these days as well
