well, there's 6 months or so to organise it. Unless you have studded tires on your bikes  

Fair point Billy.  If it's only 5k more then it doesn't really sound worth the effort.  And like you say having a some of the best surfing in the country on your doorstep is quite a handy thing.

That sounds a jolly good idea, MSP.  If all goes well over in Poland I'll be up for that.

Well you can live on the Surrey / London border Billy.  Or Wimbledon.  It's not all concrete you know

Arf. Commuting from Exeter!

I hope found what looks like a decent site for bike stuff.  I'll google the Trans Carpathia..

Wow, DP.  Looks like I might be buying winter gear sooner than I anticipated.  I'll arive in Wrolaw at 14:00 tomorrow. I can't wait to see a thick carpet of snow on the ground

You are in Germany aren't you, DP?  I spoke to the girl last night but she said it hadn't snowed.

I'm not doing any official form of certification.  Although if all goes well and I think I have an aptitude for this sort of work I'll look into it.  I would love to take my bikes, but I'll have two suitcases and my hand luggage.  I'll have no way of carrying it.  I wanted to take my kites too, but I'll also be leaving them behind.

I'll look into buying a cheapy hardtail over there or perhaps come back and pick mine up.  The girls flat I'll be staying with is pretty small she says and I don't want to take it over filling it with all my junk

It's going to be a novelty having  proper snow and not the smattering we sometimes got in London

Heh, Billy, and now you are doing system support.  There's quite often a bit of design work on jobserve.  I think it's whether you'd be willing to relocate.

Cheers, Dan.  I'll do this teaching thing for a while until the job market picks up again and see what happens.

Daftpunk - I'm not taking either of my bikes out there for the time being.  But it's good to know there'll be some decent riding to be had

Truth be told I've always had a thing about polish girls.  There were a few at school one or two whom I managed to get hold of.

I was living near Wembley last year when I was in London; the town was full of pretty polska girls.  And the girl I'll be staying with in Poland is stunning.  It's her that got me the job
