James Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Wear your shoes loose - make sure they're really comfortable (ie worn in) - and take them off when riding passenger... - and experiment with every sort of seat position you can to get comfy...I get spasms in my feet if I don't do the above...!

Jason Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Babywipes - good for water-free washing up and to clean your hands, face, armpits, arse with - get non-scented so you don't smell like a baby's backside though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Pies and sandwiches, and a carrier bag for the rubbish until you find a bin. Water bottles (for you and the car). Camera. Phone. Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Rain-X...OH - and a major one for this event - car WAX! Put it on before you stick the event sticker on - makes it come off easier... preferably a proper one too - will be there with a pot of carnauba wax if anyone needs it...

don cook1 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 James, I would like to avail myself of your carnauba wax if I may...I assume it can do my bikini line?Oh yes, echoing Ginger's spectacles thing. Really cheap reading glasses are a must as the maps will, no doubt, be hard to read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I mentioned a magnifier in yesterdays mail. Plus 'post-its' to mark pages of atlas etc.Finished compiling the maps last night- printed off the last min. instructions/advice and the final entrants list.One thought: Get some Swiss Francs if you have not already purchased a Swiss road permit- they may not accept plastic!
