Good luck Dave, I'm jealous.

Thanks Joe, I had a few choices to make and doing this one and the Eurotour in September has meant I've had to put the 32 Counties ride on hold... I WILL get around to it.

I have taken the liberty of assembling an armchair viewing page tracking several of our adventurers at http://www.ironbutt.co.uk/gn72live.php

Its presentation is currently slightly impaired by the fact that Phil hasn't left yet - come on Phil!

At his age he's probably forgotten it, or put it in his top box.

Good luck Dave, not an easy ride north to south. You decide to do it south to north, much respect and a little jealousy.

Where both Dave and Phil are right now reminds me of the erte to Sevilla in 2013. Can't imagine that the weather is as bad as then and like Gordon am very jealous, especially being on a forced layup for the foreseeable future.

Be lucky guys and keep the rubber side up...watching both spots with a keen eye.

Last contact with Phil last night, "torrential rain". Nothing changes.

Ziggy's just reported SS2000 Gold getting down to Gibraltar.

 

[orestesdjc]

Just arrived at the hotel. Time to relax for a while before the fun starts tonight.

In addition to my page above, pihlo has provided this multi-rider last location page.

I take it Phil's spot has done the usual and turned itself off after 24 hours.

He's gone dark.........

 

[saphena]

He's sitting at Fehmarn, waiting for a ferry I expect.

 

[Winglider]

According to Basecamp fastest route to Fehmarn 1854 miles covered, 1566 to go.
Looks like Phil might be chatting to Philo

Treating myself to a few hours in a hotel in Malmo. Back on the road about 2 am. Just have to avoid the Moose and Elks. Will have 34 hours to do the remaining 1450 miles.
