Oh dear, here we go. I have an arthritic left hip so if any one in uk sees a Lupin Blue where the rider seems slumped to the right, it’s me! I just can’t flex my left hip fully. I got home from a week’s tour in France with a stiff neck and after 8 days back home it’s no better, I suspect its a strain in my shoulder caused by bad posture (hip being the root cause) that’s the source of the neck problem. Still I’ll take the aches and pains anytime rather than quit doing things I love. |

Zitat von swedkg im Beitrag #18 My dad was a truck driver. I have been map reading since the late 1960s. It's a shame a lot of people don't acquire this skill, or at least the ability to read road signs so they do not drive into a canal. Satnavs are great. They certainly make life easier, especially those last few miles to find a hotel. They do get confused in medieval cities with narrow streets and high walls that block the signal. I had fun when staying a few days in Avignon. It found the hotel in the main street easily but the satnav could not find its way out of the walled city with the complex one way system. I resorted to looking at google maps on my phone and memorising a few landmarks, like I have always done. |

In 2015 I started out with a couple of maps for Germany. Then it grew to 3.
Carpe Diem!
