"We're about 12 miles from Krumlov and often visit, it's a sort of miniature Prague in terms of tourist sights, glad you enjoyed it."

I agree about the miniature Prague bit - if any of our members are venturing out that way, the area is well worth a visit.
Our first couple of times was with the 1200 'Wing and later with the 15.  The first time was when we stayed with a lady and her Daughter in Chvatěruby and they thought we were German.  We speak enough German to cope, so we sat chatting with a Czech/German dictionary at hand and had a great time. Caught the local train (chickens on the line) to Kralupy and our first 'double decker'  train into Prague.  Truly memorable and got Christmas cards for years from them.

Happy days!

Skoti,
Just laughing to myself about your Daytonas being waterproof! I had a pair of Meindl walking boots some years back and they accidentally got left outside on a walking holiday and it rained like hell during the night.  They were definitely waterproof as when they were full with water, none leaked out!

I got quoted about £80.oo by a cobbler I've used for about twenty years. I decided if it took that much it's time to get a new pair.  8) They are pull on types, something I was on the look out for, not like the ones I had before with a zip on the inside leg. Being a bit short I was prone to damaging my saddle with the zip handle when I threw my leg over the bike.   ::)  Am I becoming a rare breed for wearing the classic white sea boot socks by default? 8)

Orcade-Ian:
 
Having been born in Hull, the fishing capital of the civilised World and of advancing years, white sea-boot socks and boots just like yours were all we ever wore - thanks for the memory - bike looks great too!

Ian

Athame57:
Thanks Ian, why not return to civilization yourself? Sea boot socks are available at £8.oo a pair on Seabay. Not that expensive, less than half the price of Fish & Chips in London! ;D
