Just seen the weather report for Scotland.

We could be battling through snow to get to the islands and then there is the ferry crossing xx(
I recommend Sea Sickness tablets .... I can't remember the brand I was recommended by a friend ... we used to use the Sturgeon 15 ? ones (but she reckoned the new brand were better, perhaps because of the time you had to take them).

On a trip to Sweeden a few years ago we had 40ft of swell in the North sea.

I think myself and a handful of others were ok
The boat looked like a war zone with bodies lying everywhere..even the crew were struggling.
My wife was as sick as it' possible to be , she kept saying Kill Me!!!
I got a load of pills of the Purser and fed her them...he said only 2, I think she had 8.
She was like a heroine addict for a day or 2 but stopped being I'll.

Strangely she won' go on a cruise again.

The only time I've ever been seasick was on a dive boat in Ibiza, when I was a tad hungover. As soon as I got kitted up and hit the water I was fine.

As kids, we were on a crossing of the Cook Strait where my sister and I were the only people* left standing... even the crew were lying puking in the corridors.


*Somebody on the bridge must have been OK as we did finally dock in Wellington.


I can confirm you can indeed Vom through an ATX40 at 6m as the swell got a bit bonkers on the deco stop

A jumped up pantry boy, who never knew his place
It was raining heavily in Cumbria yesterday.
 
I'm back! I've been out and had some fun. I thought as it was sunny I would give the BSA TdF a road test.
Things didn't get off to a great start. As I was just about to get going it started raining. Oh! Come Hell or High water I was still going. Half a mile in as I was going round a roundabout I felt a clunk and my foot slipped off the pedal, I looked down. No pedal ! Just a shaft. I stopped, parked my bike and went to look for it.
It is amazing what you can find at the side of a roundabout, locking wheel nut, Schrader valve from a car wheel and eventually my pedal.
I went back to my bike, had a look contemplated going back home and thought No I'm going on.
I was enjoying the ride despite my foot slipping a bit on the shaft, even the rock hard saddle felt alright, the Chamois leather seemed to make it more comfortable.
Well I've been out and around and had fun, at times my road speed was going backwards due to the headwind but the bike felt and went well. It may be made out plain gauge high tensile steel but with the ally wheels it felt fine and I enjoyed my ride.
