Surely you just flop into it. Getting out is the embarrassing bit.

I can't just "flop" into a Stratos, cos 1) I'd hit my head on the top of the door opening going in, and 2) my name isn't Fosbury. However I have, recently, begun to develop a strategy that gets me in and out without resulting in too much hilarity....I'll give my knees 6 months :)

I've found the best technique for getting out is to use your elbows - left one on the windscreen edge on the A-pillar and right one on the body "hip" just aft of the doorframe - plus accompanying groaning !

Grr, won't let me format it correctly, but you'll get the idea!

Hi to all those going on the Yorkshire Dales drive in June. My wife Annalisa and I will be joining you for what I'm sure will be a great weekend. Sadly I'm some way off being able to come in a Stratos but hopefully that will be rectified next year!!
Cheers Steve

David can I point out Julie has a severe nut allergy ( all nuts ).
Would you be able to let the hotel know - or we can of course.

I'm really hoping to get there in my rattly old Allora which is finally on the road again after a small 20 year interlude.
There's still 14 things on the to-do/buy/fix list, but I'm getting there one at a time and now its not one step forward 2 back thank goodness.

Cheers

Pete and Julie
