    I bought one last winter and did a night ride in horizontal sleet, got covered in mud etc.
    I was warm, toasty and dry.
    As mentioned they are a bit short in the bodyand the zip being on the wrong side is a royal pain in the arse.
    Overall a brilliant buy for under 20 quid.

    The myth behind the Guinness two pour cobblers.
    The way people eulogise over a pasteurised keg beer always suprises me.

    Then again what do I know, I drink lager.

    Find somewhere that sells a lot and cleans its lines and it will taste the same as everywhere else that does the same.

    The chippy actually in Cromford Market Place is normally superb.
    Indian takeaway from The Shalimar at Rowsley is outstanding.

    Go to Ible and see if you can spot someone with five fingers.
    Go to Bonsall and then leave without getting out of the car.
    Visit The Old Bowling Green pub in Winster, the clique-iest pub in Derbyshire.
    Seriously though, Cromford canal is quite pleasant ermmmm sorry can’t think of anything else. I suppose living in the area I tend to take it a bit for granted. If you had the bike I could have been more helpful.

    Gimp barman was crap, didn’t push the pump back and then committed the ultimate sin of passing the pint over with his fingers all round the top of the glass…….. I bloody hate that.

    Richard Burton.
    No-one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes; and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us

    Normal for Wirksworth.
    I don’t know the bloke but he sounds like a nob.
    I’d like to suggest chinning him, but staying out of his way sounds like the best bet.

    I use a vision spinner 2 very good battery.
    Kanger tanks are well thought of.
    I tend to find fruity juice no good as an all day-er and have this weekend started on a custard juice. Yum.
    I’m sure @theartisformerlyknownassummatorother will be along for a professional opinion.

    All I’ve ever managed in Shining Cliff is to get lost. Crich Chase is fun.
    Couple of weeks ago was exploring around Rowsley and had a good ride at the side of the river behind Peak Rail.
    The Vision Spinner combo is now working a treat.

    Cheers I must have been being to cautious with the voltage, so I’ve cranked it to full and it’s popping and crackling like a good un, plenty of vape – cheers.
    Where do you ride locally? Most of my rides centre around high peak and Tissington with the bridleways and cheeky trails that link them up. Black Rocks and the trails that lead out of W/W, all of which are horribly steep.

    Not getting anything like that. What voltage you using?

    Live in Wirksworth and ride with a mate (to an incredibly poor standard)

    Oops sorry it was the other one.
    I must admit i’m finding the vapour production a bit hit and miss, mainly miss and have swapped back to a tank atty which is at the moment billowing vapour.
    I’m after some liquid so will pay you a visit next week.

    How strange, I bought a vision spinner and an iClear 30s from a vaping shop in Matlock on Thursday. :-)

    What Cuckoo said, use the Cardlemere Lane cut through to Tissington Trail, a short stint on a very quiet road to just along from the Mininglow carpark and 800 metres along a road with an off the road cycle track beside it.
    It’s quite a fun offroad uphill, with a long gentle descent.

    Best of luck protecting your flock of sheep then.
    OK you want a massive dog, but ultimately it has no use and children shouldn’t need to be educated as to their behaviour around it.
    I must however admit that I **** hate kids (apart fom mine).

    My daughter knows full well how to behave around ducks, sparrows and killer pigeons.
    She is also aware that the big angry things fenced off in a field are not friendly teddy bears.
    Why should I have to teach her to avoid your pet which is unpredictable, capable of killing, and ultimately pointless.
    To further question things, who the **** either wants or needs an Irish Wolfhound, unless you need to protect a flock of sheep from wolves in Ireland.
    I’m not a dog hater, and have had several, but they were pets and treated as such, i.e. not members of my family with the rights commensurate.

    The dog apologists on here must be having a laugh.
    Why the **** should I have to teach a child how to behave around dogs. Dog owners need to be aware that they are responsible for the behaviour of their pets in public. If they cannot guarantee it then if it snaps, soft mouths, nips or whatever then don’t take it out in public.

    I have suffered gout for 25 years.
    You have been prescribed allopurinol to lower your uric acid levels, this however can initially trigger gout attacks hence the colchicine.
    But colchicine has very nasty side effects when taken over a longish period (serious stomach upset). This is why it is very rarely prescribed these days. Naproxen is what I use, and don’t get any problems. Saying that I very rarely get attacks as I now know the triggers.
    Dehydration
    Stress at work
    Not eating

    Beer has never affected me and you quickly get to recognise the onset of an attack and a couple of tablets halts it.

    To be honest it has never affected my life at all.

    One tip which works for me is as much as it is absolute agony don’t sit around, go for a walk as it does tend to walk off quite well (supposing it’s in your toe) as mine always is.

    A few years ago I had a pub/B&B.
    I had a Maytag washing machine and gas tumble dryer.
    In 12 years of absolute hammer they were still working and had never gone wrong.
    They were not commercial machines.
    Plus buying from Costco is about as safe as it gets.

    Circa 1800 people killed on the roads.
    Circa 200,000 people a year bitten by dogs.
    Great advice.

    Download Nexus Media Importer from the Play store and get an OTG lead from Amazon, they’re only a couple of quid.
    Or try just connecting your camera directly to the Nexus, my Fuji just simply connects and import images pops up.

    I don’t use Picasa so can offer no advice there.

    I do however upload all my photo’s to copy.com which knocks drop box into a cocked hat.
