Hi Watching Slow Summer on the canal boat tonight. If I was in England would this be the equivalent of GMs there. Less miles to travel so the speed is slowish and the water makes it cool. Fuel cost low. More room on them as well Not sure about winter though Jaahn -- Edited by Jaahn on Sunday 20th of January 20...

Towing the caravan from Victor Harbor to Adelaide today, had a person pass me on the left using the run-off/ run-on lane from a intersecting road on my left. Gave me a bit of a surprise. Could have ended quite nasty for him if he had he run out of cycle track.

Hi all, its going to be 45 C in Adelaide tomorrow and 49 C in many other towns around the place, so just a reminder to drink plenty of water. Yeah, I know it's commonsense, but it can save lives in that sort of heat, especially if you are caught out in a van, etc. Also keep an eye out for fires too. Thanks folks....
