For genuine adventure travelling in remote places something simple like thus is probably the best option.

That scenery though is just mind blowing. We have such a beautiful world, shame we don’t treat it with the respect it deserves.

Re: Brexit thread

This beggars belief. Now the idiots realise NI probably would already have a 51% majority if they seek reunification of Ireland they are running scared. My understanding of the Good Friday agreement is that the UK and Irish government can have no involvement in it. https://www.breakingnews.ie/irelan...

I just find it astonishing such inept idiots were allowed into positions of responsibility. And still are it would appear.

Re: Making biking safer

I suspect that within 10-15 years only driverless vehicles will be allowed in town and city centres as that’s easily done and will be the experiment to make it work all over.

They do need to be careful.

In an ideal world they would be held responsible for their packaging littered all over the place. They seem to have plenty of money to advertise on pretty much every TV commercial break.
