Just as an update for anyone interested i managed to get an IBAN number from the Euro section of my Wise account and it was accepted and have registered for the BIP & GO tag. 20 euros for registration and postage then 2.10 euros per month that it is used.

I travel to France around 3 times each year mainly solo so was gonna finally bite the bullet and get a tag. I initially thought the Emovis tag but it's 54 euros to set up in the first year with application fee, annual account fee, deposit and 2 months of 7 euros usage fee so i don't see the gain. The Bip and Go looked perfect so tried to set it up and Santander can't take the Sepa direct debit needed so no go there. Any other PAYG type solutions out there with lower admin costs like the Bip and Go? Thanks.

As the proud new owner of a Proline Commando 240 airdeck i'm after a few words of wisdom as to how best to take care of the boat during storage. It came rolled up in a big rucksack type bag and will be stored for several months at a time between European trips. I have read that it's best to keep them partially inflated but that takes a lot of room. Would it be fine in the bag as is? Any advice re storage, products that may be of use to keep it in good condition etc would be much appreciated.

Thanks all. Was going down the road of a sim but wanted to know if anyone had found a reasonably priced wider version. I assume i don't need the full 90cm width so am after any experience/advice.

I'm after a topper for an avid ultra x which i only use for my French trips. The longer sessions play my hip up so just wanted a little more padding. I've read the old threads which are a help but they seem really narrow. Are there any slightly wider options about? Thanks.

Certainly a bit to go on....thanks .

The digital display has stopped working on my Fox motor. Is this and easy self fix?? Thanks.

Has anyone bought an inflatable from Alibaba? Amongst many is a 2.4m boat by Comax Marine i believe with the thicker PVC and airdeck for around £230 plus p&p. Seems too good to be true but very good reviews. Boat would be mainly for baiting up and rig dropping.

After a bedchair cover for my 3 season Avid Benchmark Lite to make it a 5 season ish. The Avid ones are like hen's teeth so after some recommendations. Read old posts and the Gardner compact gets great reviews but will have more on the floor than the bed looking at the dimensions (Avid is 200 x 80 x 47 extended).
