  Not a stupid question……
  
  What is the best foolproof method.
  
  Im off to France on Tuesday on a family holiday (well wife thinks its that 😀 😀 😀 ) and I managed to fit a small rive c30 and footplate in roof box with carryall etc.
  
  I was going to attach a small holdall with 4 rods to the roof bars and then tie it down with twine.
  
  Any better ideas :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

  cargo straps are far more reliable. Should be able to find them at B&Q or Halfords.
  Bungees and twine and the like are asking for trouble.

  I’m with cutnut. Webbing straps from a builders merchants or a camping shop. Alternatively use long cable ties, but these are not re-useable. Rod cases, for air transport, are ideal but expensive. However they have handles that can be adjusted to fit over roof bars & can be padlocked in place.
  Have a nice holiday.
  Regards Peter.
