Right, I've read all the write ups in the sticky section, and Im craving more tbh.

I particularly enjoyed Maurices accounts, and france with a view to italy is what Im thinking about doing myself.


Just wondered, because Im a total lazy sod, can anyone off the top of their heads point me in the direction of some really good write ups with pics etc?

Ive had a look on other sites also, but BCF seems to be the best for decent write ups!

Cheers guys, Im gonna continue to look through the past posts in this section, but a lot of picture links are dead too. Sucks arse!

Did you read that sticky about that Clayton guy on advrider?

Like always with long threads, start at the beginning then skip to the end, thinking this must be an epic adventure to have such a long sticky. Skip to the end and they're all saying RIP wtf...so started reading in between...

Turns out about a month in to his adventure, this guy had an accident and was paralysed. then earlier this year he took his life. pretty shitty. Sad keep safe

Go to the bottom of the Touring selection and select all the very good
excellent and outstandings tours, you should get plenty , though my Spanish one does not work well on PCs with less than 512mb of ram......

I hotlinked rather a few pictures in it... Laughing

Embarassed Thanks.

A while back I started to get a post together to update that list of write-ups sticky, but there are so many good write-ups on this forum now it was just turning into a forum index so I gave up on the idea.

I should really my webspace out so the pictures work, thanks for the reminder.

maybe you should sticky a single post at the top with hotlinks to all the good tours in them instead?.

Ok, do you mind if I leave out yours, it sucked Wink [/joke]

You can see the point though, it could turn into some arsey review board, and we're all biased towards our own tours.

If you do fancy taking it on and indexing them in a decent format I'd sticky it though.

I think its the fact yours had pretty much everything that I want to do. The right areas, the right types of bike, same age (ish) quality photography and into different cultures etc.

Yeah get them pictures sorted, theres some sorted pics on those write ups!

God, ADVrider is gonna get me fired. Which might be a plan... Mr. Green Laughing
