I'm a bit concerned about the Chris quota. I think we have three but is that enough to make an official RTT?

Looks good Matt. If it helps I used the Tyre application to import the three day's routes you've done on Google maps into TomTom itineries. They look OK to me, the proof will be when we get there  :sorry:  . I'll stick close to you on day one until I'm confident they've converted correctly :giveusahug:  If anyone want's a copy let me know  I'll email them to you, with the caveat that I cannot be held responsible for anyone lost in the German hinterland  :P

Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

 Give your bike a good wash and polish, you can't go letting the side down arriving on a dirty bike  :blink:

Aircooled can give you a few tip and pointers in bike polishing.

Sorry about that, but the owner said that there would be a Chris (Matlock) myself and another biker called Graham, and I thought of you.
