Hello Simon,
Yep, it is cold but at least we are heading toward spring now, so it can only get better.
I think that a post about your up to date experience of bringing a foreign registered bike into the UK would be of great interest.
It has struck me that the nature of shipping is very non-geographic, so it would be relevant in, say, "trip transport or planning" - Grimaldi seem to get to a lot of places.
I like those tyres in the container in your pic, BTW: do those fit your bike or are you bringing them into the UK for some other use??!
Cheers,

There were some on one of the docks when I came Grimaldi in November. They're for the 300 ton ore carrying dumper trucks at Chuquicamata copper mine.
