    TLD 2009 What's in your luggage

    Just a point of note for all you long distance riders who sometimes carry spare fuel strapped to their panniers, if you intend to carry spare fuel on TLD then please check with the ferry companies that this is OK as I think it might not be (not sure why not).
    I've done these ferry routes on many occasions have sometimes been asked if I was carrying additional fuel especially on the P&O ferry ex scotland.

    Good point. But given our route I don't think anyone should need to be carrying extra fuel.

    Mmmm, what about my camping stove fuel? I'm hoping a 'what they cant see wont alarm them' kinda strategy.........


    3 TLD's done, (2009 + 2010 + 2011) - bring on 2012

    When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
    With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
    When the law break in How you gonna go?
    Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row?.............

    I've had this before with boats on ferries, but we were carrying four twenty ltr jerry cans, we said they were empty and would be filled when we arrived at our destination and they couldn't be bothered to argue
    Moto Guzzi Stelvio ( red of course )
    Honda XR 600, my new old toy - for sale
    Aprilia rxv 450 pile of scrap, got a refund
    Honda crf450x
    XS 700 Mercury Twin
