    Using mobile phones out of the UK- I'm confused.

    I do use +44 myself as well. Tony or anyone. What about phoning the UK for a landline abroad? You cannot use +44 because there is not a + on a landline phone (I think)

    Which battery?

    Unless you have had a battery for a number of years, how can you say how good it is and also without knowing how a battery is treated its hard to compare one brand to another anyway :think: I've had my £70 110AH Lucas leisure battery now for nearly three years, it's done 1000's of miles of...

    Hugh's fish fight

    The Licensed Professional UK fisher men I know, OK only two boats, would fish the sea dry of all the fish they could to make a buck until there was nothing left without the law stopping them. I'm amazed people have only just noticed that over catched dead fish get dumped back in the sea. So...

    POLAND TLC Camp 2011

    Gav, you're using UK prices for fuel. Diesel per L (in £) France 1.13 Germany 1.10 Poland 0.98 As of Dec 10 EDIT, not that you will go that way unless you're really lost :mrgreen: Spain 0.92 We are really paying a very high price in the UK :snooty:

    Dell Inspiron Duo

    That was my idea to start with, but IMO the screen would be too small. I'm getting on quite well with my Asus Eee T101MT, I would have posted pictures by now but Pentagon Gps messed me around with my order for a ram mount so I still don't have it yet. :evil:

    8th & 9th Jan laning in Wales

    Thanks for all the advise, but I think we are far in excess of any training I have had. Do you carry a defibrillator as well? I remember how hard it was to decide if it was a shockable rhythm or not, not something to get wrong really :mrgreen:

    It seems you can even use an O2 PAYG Sim with a Thuaya Phone, unless I'm confused :think: http://travelabroad.o2-uktech.com/coverage.php and select the drop down for thuraya, then check out the rates for both contract and PAYG as see what you think? If correct it could be a cheap way of...

    Satellite Phone

    There is a good chance it does work with some contract sims, Tonytone iirc said it worked with his orange sim although I don't have any idea of costs using one this way. A Google search Thuraya.com From Orange Switzerland, I cannot find anything on Orange UK so far.

    8th & 9th Jan laning in Wales

    There is SPOT Messenger which maybe a cheaper option than a sat phone although it does not allow two way communication, it does do fancy tracking (for a fee) which is handy in it's own right. Another plus point is you don't have to know who to call and try and make yourself understood in a...

    Ground Tents..........whats your advice..?

    I never really noted the guy putting it up and down, but I cannot remember it taking a long time or the guy moaning about it. They are good IMO, although I don't think they would sleep 3 adults. I have more photos of the inside / outside close up, they are not my photos though but if you pm me...

    You can catch a ferry on Friday and by Monday you can be starting a real adventure, a couple of days after that you can be in the desert and drive for hours without seeing hardly anyone else. It really is not that far away.. :)
