Not managed to get across to Inveraray this year so far but this is good news --

for whatever reason i get a warm feeling just walking round to the wee memorial plaque for Hugh Foulis / Neil Munro, creator of Para Handy .

i was in Anstruther yesterday and had a blue sky view across the Forth to the distant Pentlands.
Snow white top to bottom, so clearly much more snow dumped there than Fife Stirlingshire

ok i am a sucker for a good news story !
MSL mag dropped through the door today.
Maynard Hershon ( love that name ) 's column this month is about Socks.
Who would believe it ! Even he didn't!
Anyway, full A4 page article about socks, specifically extolling the virtues of Goldtop motorcycle socks . https://goldtop.co.uk/products…ino-wool-motorcycle-socks
Anyway they sound good so a pair ordered !

picked this up ---"The North West 200 and all motorcycle road races, short circuit and trials events in Northern Ireland have been cancelled for 2023 due to crippling Public Liability insurance costs.
The decision was reached at an emergency meeting of the Motor Cycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre) on Thursday night.National road races were facing an increase of three times more than they paid in 2022, with clubs looking at costs of more than £50,000."

and here was me thinking all would be well in early 2023.
looks like it might be open for the run to Barrow campsite --- but only just ?!

I look forward to reading the Stories from Spain and the deliberations before you depart !
when are you heading off ??

the rack metal is possibly not thick enough to accept a full depth countersink, so i urge caution and a one hole trial !
pan heads vs dome heads ? --- or a bit of 3?mm closed cell foam stuck to the rack surface might be effective (if not aestheticaly pleasing !).
-
i used to do that, it is pretty effective.
-
at Euros per Kilometre i am sure you will get value out of it.
reading your commentary for a second time - why not a wider rack so you could put rokstraps through the loops on the Wolfman ?
or was the distance between them to great ??
the mosko tail pack does look much more box like than the wolfman bag.
-
the problem i found was when you loosen the side straps the pannier sags away from the rack and as you drag your packing "bags" out, the pannier wants to lift as well.
that's the issue i wanted a solution for.
i should add that my straps have got velcro keepers to stop? the tensioned straps easing.
