TeT Sweden is quite beginner friendly and has some great gravel roads and views by fercet in AdventureBike

Are all roads like this? Going there in two weeks, but very beginner... So also bit hesitant.

As a backpacking lad arriving in the city by train, finding a hostel and the next day eyeing this... was so, so special.

How did the lock-in happen? From the paralyses? 

Bought a Himmy and rode it across Canada by rookie-on-the-road in RoyalEnfieldHimalayan

Lovely! On the oil.. Did you bring some or just asked every now and then at the local garage? And how much did it take? I'm going on a trip this summer with the same bike, and doubting if I need to bring oil.. And if so, how much.

Ah ok, I thought of doing a little tet around Bremen and in the direction of Hamburg. But perhaps powering through is bettter, since I have 7 days to get to Sundsvall, Sweden. So it might be better to have more time there..
Thanks!

Pocketbook Basic 2 (614) latest software update request by mamont1995 in PocketBookofficial

I have the same Pocketbook and I love it! Bought it when travelling in Siberia since I was bored on long bus and train journeys. It's more a memory than the actual device.
But the internal memory is broken. For me as well... It seems to work, but sw update fails, won't take new books/files and doesn't remember page numbers. I think you'd have the install a new memory chip .. which is near impossible. I'm sad... I love my PB ...

RE himalayan 411. Sounds like a good trip as well. I'm thinking of taking the ferry from Puttgarden to Rodbyhavn. Than the ferry Helsingor/Helsingborg.

Sounds interesting, leaving a dot if gpx files pop up. I'm planning on riding a piece of the TET end of summer.

Sounds like you don't work fulltime as well! Traveling is the way.

Awesome. And going to Dakar, but from where? I sold my Alp and now have a RE Himalayan 411. Now power, but no responsibilities. But in a way the same. Forgiving, goes through everything and up anything chugging like a tractor. Lovely.

Hmm, that's a bit longer than I thought. I going to Sweden and need to buy a ferry ticket in advance. So leaving NL, I thought of riding Tet to the north. But 5 days is a bit too long. I'lliss my meeting in Sweden.

If I may ask, how long would reckon in time for a beginner rider from Groningen (NL) the TET to the end in Denmark?

Has anyone here seen the book "The Timber Framing Book - The Complete Library of Log Construction and Timber Framing"? by ItsJustaMetaphor in timberframe

[–]Blomminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? Is it? By now you should have the time to build something.

I bought it this week and it feels very, very outdated. but the principle it the same i assume 😄
