As one who was a road warrior for years and shot all over the UK at a
moments notice for years, I can agree how unglamorous it can get. I have
seen lots of highway,(much of it at night) and lots of the interiors of
customers establishments, and seldom got to enjoy the countryside. At
least Charles lets someone else do the driving. One good point is that I
don't need a SatNav to get me from here to there, I know most of the routes!
Terry's post reminded me of the words of a campsite owner by a (very rainy)
Loch Tay :
(you have to read this in the appropriate accent)..
"There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing"
That is the common response to people who say that they don't cycle in
inclement weather. Coming from Vancouver, I know what real rain is.
Dorset rain is just a moistness in the air.
On another tack, I would be very interested to hear Charles gives a
presentation about fracking. Perhaps if you want a rehearsal before a
public talk you should give it to the LUG Charles?
