  • Cheaper only inland i guess, those were really budget options for Olbia and Cagliari. And yes, trip over, no punctures nor any other bike maintenance done. It says something like “don’t go there with tubed tires” on BP, i guess there were a few thorny plants but i feel a bit like this is being a bit over dramatized (same for the altravesur route). TBF i did not ride them both completely, so i just might have luckily avoided the sections where i would have got punctures from all the thorns but i don’t really believe it. My rims are not made for tubeless so even if it might be possible to make it work somehow, maybe, i don’t really want to mess with it.

    Stintino looks pretty great! I wanted to take a train from Cagliari to Sassari and ride around that corner of the island too, but the train is currently not going there due to construction, so i didn’t. For the rock doves, haha, apparently there is a colony around here:

    edit: I don’t know what lemmy is doing with my link here, on preview i can still see fine what i wanted to post, but on send it fucks up the link. Anyway Capo Caccia, that’s a rock dove spot apparently.




  • I did not stay at any agriturismo, i kept it wild (lots of great spots to be found, super easy to do) and official camping (The tip for camping Theleme in Ulassai from BP was in deed very good, very nice place and good atmosphere), took a 65€ room in Cagliari in a hotel, although there would have been cheaper b&b options but they didn’t get back to me quick enough, in Olbia i paid 55 for a really nice b&b, b&b terranova (it said and still says 70€ on google maps, but it was 55). So i guess b&b is what you want to look for, they all had shared bathrooms, but only a couple rooms, so really no big deal. All had a place for the bike too.


    At the highest point of the BP route








  • Nice one! Yeah they got some really cool restrooms spread around Norway.

    I would want to recommend to see if there’s not some community lab somewhere around you, chemicals are bit messy and many of them are not that long lasting either and then it may be a bit risky to still use it. I think it makes a lot of sense to share this stuff.

    I was using diafine developer at home, because it has a long shelf life (rodinal too) and it pushes the films quite a bit, I was keen to be able to shoot fast shutter speeds. Also is quite fool proof. Now I am a member of some maker space kinda thing with a photo lab, have yet to use it though, really went digital in the last … decade really 😅 But I want to make use of it soon.

    Thanks, that makes sense I guess. Those are some really cool names for the crows! Stash. I watch the crows in my yard stash stuff too, I thought they might be the ones who stashed peanuts in my flower pots, but now i suspect it’s the jays.

    Haha, sounds real good. How many are they who follow you around, do they follow all together or do they have their sections? And can you tell (some of) them apart?

    I tried to attract some crows to my balcony, but they seem real shy. I know they pick up peanuts at some other place in the yard. The daily peanut I lay out was only once collected by a crow (that I saw), then the jay took over.
