    Packed and ready to go

    I am heading off tomorrow (Thursday) via the Carole Nash office in Altrincham, and stopping the night in the Lakes. I hope to be in Edinburgh about lunchime on Friday (but I'm doing the Wrynose and Hardknott passes so won't be rushing)

    I have packed everything I could find that might be useful, so if you have any problems try me.

    I have packed:
    tools, including a big hammer and a junior hacksaw
    gas powered soldering iron
    multimeter
    Tyre irons
    Spare front and rear tubes
    spare front and rear wheel bearings
    1m of fuel hose and some clips
    jump leads
    spare bulbs and fuses
    brake bleeding hose
    assorted nuts and bolts I found lying around
    Gaffer tape
    first aid kit
    cable ties
    spare clutch cable (I think it is a clutch cable)

    Be Prepared - that was the Scouts' motto.

    See you all in Edinburgh

    None of them appear to be the sump nut or the steering head nut so I should be OK

    They weren't by any chance connected to a kitchen sink were they?
