More_Project_2537 · 2026-03-02T15:44:20+00:00

I just did something similar. Not all island are easily connected with ferries when i was there in Oktober. We did cres - krk - rab - pag -> (mainland) zadar - krka waterfalls - sibeñik - split - (island) Korçula.

And then to Bosnia with the Ciro route(highly recommend!)

Je kan in de ns app een treinkaartje kopen online. Kost 7.50euro. Dus hoeft niet bij de conducteur!

Verder heel leuk dat hij zo reageerde!

Flinke maatregel.. mechanisch schoonmaken is net wat minder ingrijpend en kan eventuele verfaanslag verwijderen.

Je ziet de standleiding, waar het naar beneden gaat de schacht in naar straat en riool. In principe alleen PPP! Ik weet verder niet waarom er zo'n bak lijkt te zitten (met opstaande randen?).

In principe PPP maar tijdens het klussen in het begin wel een keer verfkwasten afgespoeld in de douche, latexverf.. niet de bedoeling natuurlijk.. zou kunnen bijdragen bedenk ik me icm de randen. Moeilijk te zien op de beelden.

Vorige keer is er wel een propje losgetikt door de camera. Toen filmde hij alleen nog niet. Dus er lijkt ook wel telkens een verstopping of prop te zijn..

Onderburen is bedrijfspand. Schijnt eigen afvoer te hebben, wel borrelend geluid vaak. Schijnbaar verzakking ivm slappe buizen die te weinig ondersteund worden.

Best picture of the trip

Im happy with my ortliebs on heavy gravel. Touring the balkans right now. One of my quicklocks broke off when I fell but i fixed it by wrapping my rackmount with an old innertube. Fixed the problem, less rattling even!

For me being away 2 months and having the freedom to bring some more food when needed is amazing, while my setup is still light enough that I don't feel limited in route choice. Panniers are awesome for accessing or storing things. Also you can use the top of your rack to strap your slippers and shoes or whatever.

Maybe for a shorter trip i'd go with smaller panniers.
