Путешественник We’ll done both of you for getting thus far. Different route this time? Rings the changes. I’ve used Travelodge with my bike. They get a bit funny if you clean your bike in the room, which I heard has been done, but not by me.
Путешественник Yep. We're crossing over the Midlands and heading up.the East Coast to Edinburgh. Oily carpets must be a pain to clean.
