No this is not the place to post your tips!

This is purely for the discussion bit. Please put your tips in the appropriate thread which is a global sticky which appears at the top of every forum/section. You will see it is currently empty! It is hard for us to move your posts so please repost them in the right place!

Thank you.

I've moved the posts that were put in here into the competition thread - Please add any further tips that you want entered into the competition to the competition thread

Hope this makes sense now... let's have LOADS of entries because I can tell you that the prize is fantastic.

Yep the prize was cycled 677 miles by me. I wonder how many calories I burnt carrying that darn book with me. It is signed by my Dave, my mum and Dad, my Nan and a whole heap of ishers. It really is a slice of selfsufficientish life. It is going to be difficult to part with actually as all the messages are good luck ones for my cycle trip.

Me too - but how eco friendly is it for a train full of cold showers?

I'm with you there - we even found a pair of scissors that very cunningly come apart so they're really easy to clean!

I agree Mrs Flibble, but people complained in the last competition that other people were 'chatting' on it. You can't win!

Now I will try my best to move Percy's tip to the correct place! :pale:

I've made this an announcement so it sits next to the actual competition thread, hopefully it will be less confusing like that.
