I take a mobile phone on the bike for emergencies, and to phone home in the evening so the family knows I'm safe. And a Nikon SLR and recently a Holux logger (1xAA battery) and that's it. If I want to be contacted I even turn the phone on, normally it's off. If I want to get any news(which I normally don't, maybe the weather forecast), I buy a local paper and try and work it out. -- Tim C.

Anyway I tend to travel about a lot on holiday, moving somewhere new every few days, so anything extra that I can't carry in my pocket would be a huge encumbrance. -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire email: mike_lane at mac dot com

I must be one of the last who doesn't even use a mobile at home. We have one for calling the AA if necessary. That's it, and will remain so. Surreyman |
