Cozy Hearth?

 

Any information yet as to if/when it'll be this year?

Occupied channel Islands, 1944:  no tires left, rolling on rims.  Tweedy and tough.

The first sure looks like a DP to me.

Heck of a set up on the second one. The mounting of the stove fount in the rear triangle gets it out of the way. No paraffin leaking on the breeks. Looks like a two pinter, too boot. Really used the ol' noggin for the canteen mount.

For those of us who enjoy British style cycle touring but are too cheap or technologically challenged to use BBCs' iPlayer (I know who I am), I think this may provide some perusal pleasure.

Alan, I know Lloyd was just her stage name, but am so impressed!
