I actually live in the UK, though I'm from Germany originally.

Don't buy pre cut as that's expensive. A full sheet gives 4 20x16 sheets with some offcuts and works out far cheaper, it's easy to cut matt board down.
A Stanley khife and a good metal rule, I just use a 4ft length of Aluminium is all you need to cut to size, then a good matt cutter for bevelled edges. You need some heavy duty card board as the base to cut on most framing suppliers carry what you need. Ian |

Arts and crafts supply places do some forms of mount board, Hobbycraft here in the UK were definitely selling it in my local store:

Mounting Board
Sorry MHXHM.
I looked at your profile and saw - Germany. Any half decent art shop will sell A1 sheets of 'Daler' 6 ply card. It is getting quite expensive now, around £4 a sheet, so if you buy a full packet (10 sheets) they will usually give you a discount - typically 10%.You can get 4 ply sheets much cheaper but they feel quite poor quality. I don't know where you live, but if you are anywhere near to Darlington in Co Durham, I can point you in the direction of a wholesaler I bought my last lot from. He was actually very reasonably priced. |

D'oh! I agree, that's a bit confusing. I've removed that, doesn't really matter anyway.
Thanks for your help! |

Holiday
Yes thats the idea. 13 days, 2100 miles (3360kms) on a motorcycle, plus a camera and lenses. Through Germany then as far south as Switzerland, Italy, Austria, back into Germany at Garmisch Partenkirchen, before returning home almost by a reverse, but more direct route home, Good roads, good beer, good food, superb scenery and (usually) good weather.
