A lot of promotional “spin” and an awful lot of wriggle room in the caveats. I wonder if there’s a central agency selling this or a similar sample text to anyone who wants it. Here at any rate the action for the consumer is to put a claim on the seller, not the manufacturers. Sometimes the...
I looked at the damage photos and was appalled. Also the price you quoted $300 is outrageous. I’ve bushwalked, XC skiied, travelled in some pretty vicious conditions at times. A halfway decent pack should survive pretty well anything. Sorry, but your pack is absolute rubbish and massively...
Perhaps don't be in too much of a rush to get to St J PdeP. If you haven't been to Bayonne before, the central city area is lovely, and well worth a wander. It sits on the junction of two rivers, and you stroll across the bridges from the station to get there. Wander round the narrow cobbled...

Madrid boasts three of the world's greatest art galleries. And they are located reasonably close together. The Prado is a bit overwhelming, and personally I'd opt first for theMuseo Thyssen -Bornemisza...
El Burgo Ranero was one of the real highlights of my walk. I had a fairly short easy stroll to there from Moratinos on 14 March 2014. It reminded me a bit of a wild west town as the countryside was flat without much feature. There's a big trucking station on the eastern outskirts so it's...

G'day Terry,
As you're 69 (like me) you are no doubt retired and have a bit of time on your hands, so here's one from left field.
I did the conventional thing, flew to Paris via Singapore (Singapore Airlines) caught the TGV on the Hendaye line to Bayonne and bussed it to St Jean Pied de Port...
