Also try the N330 over Canfranc not the tunnel through it!

You can do a a nice day loop: Jaca --> N240 west to Sigues, then follow the A (NA) 137 through to france, where is becomes the D132... Follow to Arrett and pick up the D918 till it meets the N134 and then onto the N330 back to Jaca

Many thanks - seems most people have the 2/3 XL sizes. There does not seem to be a direct replacement ... but I will keep digging .,.

for many years I went to a town called Jaca. this was a great based as you could loop out and back many different ways. the town has lots to to in the evening's but does not feel over run with tourists

as I write Im in Sweden on day 6 of a solo bike trip. being solo during the day is nice less faffing around... etc but it would be nice to have have someone to natter to in the evenings. don't get me wrong the Fri and Saturday night crowds in pubs here are great, but the rest of the week can be a ...

Morning...

No, I have not set one off!!! But, On the M25 there are a lot of gantry mounted speed cams above each lane. Are these every used?

I have seen the yellow cameras are positioned at the side of the gantry flash, but never the gantry mounted ones...

Erm for what use / purpose?

Hi..

So what do you take in your "tour kit " I thinking .

Few spanners / screw drivers
Replacement fuses
Bulbs if you're not led lights
Chain lube
Bit of oil

What else do you throw in?

Or are you an " overseas breakdown cover / credit card only " tourer?

The only issue with the more recent ones is they automatically turn off after they've been disconnected for 10 minutes or so, so I have to remember to turn them back on after a lunch stop.
