I'm going to steal that idea

referring to the apparent bodge on the handle I assume. I'm blind/stupid - what is it?

The pot is sitting on a gear cog.

ah, yes freally blind of me - good idea - normally you have to use a trivett easiest found in Italy. Still wondering about the handle fix though.

One more expensive sticker for the collection; not the one I thought I would be stressing over - but the right one nonetheless. As a good friend once said "time to let the train take the strain ". Sorry India, I'm heading west.

Thanks Mr Arallsopp for updating the thread. I've been in sunnier climes the last week cycling up and down mountains. Now back to catching up with stuff.

Some things in life won't wait forever.

Anyone recommend bike friendly accommodation in Moscow?

Hello, hello...

Well I arrived back in London last night, and good grief the trains were delayed. Not a problem I encountered on Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian or Polish railways. Can we import some of their plainly excellent staff?

Unfortunately there is a mountain of paper work and other things vying for my attention already, but I do intend to finish writing about the ride. Bit by bit.

In the meantime.. make time for a beer one evening this week.

its a bit of a shock when you come back to the 'worlds greatest country' and nothing works properly. and it costs a fortune to be let down.

glad you made it back, congratulations on an epic trip.
