A blog that has evolved over the years from simply about motorcycle trips, to include action against discriminatory legislation from the UK and EU. Then included football, dogs and motorhoming!!!

Sinterklaastreffen 2017?
Update 29/11/2017
Definitely not going now. Snow forecast for the south-east and "near continent". That's Belgium. Riding a £10000 ($12700) bike in those conditions it a definite no-no.
Update 4/12/2017
It didn't snow but on the morning I should have set off it was -3C in Hythe. Frost and ice to scrape off the car....

Hythe
I have only lived here since 1999. We have a nice little town.
Once the town was on the coast directly but over the years our side of the Channel silted up. Resulting in the capital of the "Cinque Ports" becoming further from the sea itself. We still have a beach and a promenade but they are further from the town centre.
In the photo is the Royal Military Canal. Built in case Napoleon invaded and to be used as a moat to delay and stop the invaders. They never came and the canal is a national monument.

First digital camera?
The problem is that the cable I can't find has a jack plug at one end and a serial connection at the other. How to connect it to a modern computer might prove difficult.

??18 - Where to go?
The niggling problem is that I have 14 exchange points left to use with RCI after we were downsized for the second week in Florida earlier this autumn.
I hate to see them expire on 31st December 2018. Just vanish unused.
So where to go? Europe is artificially priced and only the crappiest or those with the worst reviews seem to be in that points range. Amazingly, many of the "why is this dump on here" places are much higher.
But turning to the US looks the best value for resort, and choice, but obviously the airfare is much higher.
Now I know the term dates for the school year starting September 2018 I have something to play with.
Update 2/11/2017
In the bit the bullet and joined the 14 left over points with the next year's allowance to create a 36 point year ending Dec 2019.

The appetite may sicken, and so die."
