Had to get out
After reading Andys RxR and being all but house bound :aaarrgjh i kicked myselfup the arse and dragged the Black Pig out, the sun had been out all day and now a 3pm it felt fine so , in work boots , jeans and bike jacket i set off towards Rocamdour
The first few kms were fine but i little cold in the shade, but i was out and nothing ached ......result Maybe i should fill folk in will my mini dilemma Bloody Thyroid has gone tits up :aaarrgjh this being ill is really new to me , maybe i've been lucky but i'm payng now!!! anyway doc says it'll all get sorted and to stopworking for 3 months :wtf i have to work and there aint know way a bloody gland is going to boss me ............................he says :blah :blah :blah :blah Result !!!!! ...............yes thats where i was , riding is easy and the old ticker stayed nice and calm ,but i can't go out without going off road :dirtsmile Turned down a lane i knew that has a ford but found this Thats at least a metre deep and fast flowing ops: but there's a bridge This nearly proved fatal !!!! you can see i've got my Giant Loop luggage (yellow bag) strapped to the Pig (testing if it stays on) I rolled onto the bridge and thought good photo op !!! stopped the bike threw my leg backward catching the bag and nearlly falling in the river :tosser I chose this route because i know it's fairly light going knowing full well if the Pig went down i'd never pick it up on my own If i'd still been smoking i'd of have a tab here Good job i know where i'm going , bloody GPS has the wrong card in it Civilisation ...................the back end of Rockie The Pig Time to leave it was getting chilly But me being me saw another trail , should i :hmmm: i'm getting tired it going cold :hmmm: What the hell..................... I didn't stop untill here !!!! bloody rut was a good foot deep and the climb was steep and loose I had a choice Left OR right i went left and saw the right route from high :dirtsmile i'll be back :dirtsmile Time for bed said Zebidee..................the road home Hope you enjoyed my little bimble , not quite an Andy saga buy i had one hellof a couple of hours and kicked the fook out of those demons !!!!

G'Day, Phil. Nice photos.
Can I ask about your garmin, what are the wires around it. I thought that type of outdoor garmin only operated on batteries and also, how have you mounted your gps?

Cheers AA
The 60CSx can be use with both , it has 3 ports on the back One for an extra anttena and these two the left hand one is what i use , its really for transffering data but works , the right hand one is the real mains power point but i think this is for the touretech type cradles The mount is a RAM And a 12v Its a great little GPS, tough and quite easy to use , even for a Ludit like me !!!

Nice report Phil! Look at those blue skies!
I've got the same Garmin and use one of these to power it on longer trips. It uses the 4 pin connector and is bang on.
