I think Tam will stick with his poo in a bag which reminds me of Borat .

I suppose he couldn't have a bog worth more than his bus...

Yes i found that before and at the moment it states a test isn't necessary to enter italy from greece and i then have 36 hours to transit italy
Although it does state somewhere that this rule is up for review on 5th march so ill have to keep an eye on that.

My problem is planning the rest of the journey as at present you're only allowed to transit france in 24 hours ....but i need a negative pcr test done in france as according to gov website only Spanish french or english is accepted so one in greece or italy won't do ....and the timing for greece is impossible anyway as im on ferry for 24 hours
I also need the dogs wormed somewhere and greece would again be tight on timing with no room for delays and not sure on italy ..

So i can probably get from Greece to italy no probs but i need a neg test to enter France unless im in and out in 24 hours ....but i need a vet and a pcr test with results in those 24 hours which to me seems almost impossible.

Im stressed to the max trying to work it all out

I also have to submit a plf before entering uk , order 2 tests before entering uk etc all within a certain timescale while driving 3500km in 2 days
Thats before i factor in eating sleeping letting dogs get a pee etc


Obviously when they worked these things out no one got together to think of folk crossing more than one country with dogs.


And to think if they had only extended the transition period till covid was dealt with all of this would be easy.

I dont think i can physically do what is legally required to be honest

I would say stop worrying....just get on the ferry sort it out when you get to Italy...if you haven’t got a pcr they will soon test you, they won’t try and put you on the ferry back. Same with Italy to France or wherever...let them do their stuff. They won’t shoot you. Too much time spent worrying. You must have very high blood pressure.

That's a very good point. They'll just want you to get through and home too

 

[Hymerbell]

To be fair, you did travel out against Government advice

Yes always do what the government tells you . Brilliant advice ! NOT

How about one of these Tam... as an upgrade from your intended composting jobbie...

There's a thread...
Never heard of them before

Have you seen how much gas they use, it would give Tam a heart attack.

metal tray and a blow torch would save a few quid.

Providing you don't set the van on fire.

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

Providing you don't set the van on fire.

Then you'd really be in the sh.........

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

I'm just thinking of the insurance claim.

"well, I was just blow torching my morning log when ...... "

 

[Langtoftlad]

I was just blow torching my morning log

Aha - now I understand why Tam is so keen on a "log" burner for his new build .

It just needs a seat on top instead of a plate for the kettle!

And they always said shit doesn't burn

 

[Mikey RV]

It’s where the saying shit hot comes from.

Years ago, talking to an old fitter at work, I said I had to pick up some disposable nappies on my way home. He said they'd only ever used terry ones and that once you'd removed the nappy from the child, if you got a firm grip on one corner in your fist, and gently held the opposite corner under your thumb, a quick flick of the wrist would send the contents into the back of their open fire !

Now then I have heard the the Mongolian people use dried yak dung as fuel for cooking. So rather than throwing half the content of your composting loo away just dry it out and use as fuel for the 'log' burner.
A few laid out in the sun will mean you can always pitch up without being crowded in but probably have to invest in flyscreens for the new conversion. Win win!

Horse poo burns quite well,not surprising as it’s mainly straw. Quite a good idea to burn it once it’s compacted a bit.

 

[gpat]

And they always said shit doesn't burn

It does burn. So long as its dry. Has To be about 20% dry solids to burn unaided which means you gotta get it out in the sun for bit. If you try to burn it fresh, it takes more energy to burn off the water than you get from the combustion.

 

[Northernraider]

Ill be sticking to the 100 poo bags for £1 thanks .

Good plan. I forgot to mention it's a bit smelly too.

At last - a toilet thread! Life almost back to normal.

 

[StephandJohn]

I didn't but at least you got to say it , i left uk when it was still ok to do so ...i entered greece while greece was still saying come to greece its safe here
And ive enjoyed being in the safest place in europe in a warmer climate than the uk
If it wasnt for brexit and the stupid insistence of not extending the transition period i could happily stay here ...i could if i really wanted go to bulgaria or turkey and wait it out but otherwise i need to leave shengen by 31st march and thats when my covid covering travel insurance expires.

I'm attempting to now comply with various government advice and return home by the quickest route .... something they haven't made easy.

So really those comments arent really helpful.

I broke no rules or went against any advice when i came here and to come home any earlier would have been unwise.

I, for one, knew you hadn't gone against UK advice when you left and you've followed every countries rules since then.

 

[StephandJohn]

So instead of telling me im wrong when ive already stated several times that i do not understand all the different requirements and how im going to do it why not instead try telling me how you plan to do it.

Because otherwise it isnt helping its just having digs

Yes. You're quite right. It always astonishes me on her when some like to dig instead of providing useful help.. Not many I know but I'm finding it upsetting and annoying on your behalf.
