Newhaven/Dieppe smaller than the Portsmouth/st Malo or hull/Rotterdam ferrys

No complaints though booked a cabin on way out as overnight.

Newhaven and Dieppe ports quite small and only 1 ferry so much nicer than Dover.

I done Newhaven to Dieppe this year, was almost half the price of Portsmouth to st Malo.

Anyone with brsk? Just had notice they are installing in our area soon, if they do as it involves putting poles up as the gas company appears to have wrecked all the underground conduits

I had a good day out with

HOME

When I stayed in Costa adeje

Who knows how they do it.

I had a  fraudulent transaction last year, I was in work (2am) and a £50 payment alert pinged up on my phone for 5 guys.

The card cloned/used for payment was brand new I hadn’t used it anywhere.

NatWest refunded the money didn’t hear anymore about it

Mountain biking was the nail in my windsurfing coffin too.

Starting with no wind days trips to Woburn sands from brogbrough lake

Still got all my stuff taking up valuable bike space in the garage, look out for another wanting shot of  windsurfing gear

No 🦃 here 😀

Curry house at the end of the road.

Then hop in the car to visit Blackpool lights 

Thanks for all the tips  and sorry for any flare ups

Will look into everything mentioned

Is work anywhere near where the learners have to be?

Driving lesson and lift to work in one ?

Maybe worth looking at easyJet holidays they come out a lot cheaper than TUI/ jet2 etc

Is your standing in regular areas?

A few anti fatigue mats dotted around (where they won’t cause a trip hazard).

I’m lucky I used to suffer until employer changed the safety shoes they would supply to us.

The days I did suffer I could really feel the difference between bare concrete and standing on a rubber cushioned mat

I went out with these people

Algarve Bike Holidays

OK ride for a bimble on holiday

Mainly jeep tracks with a bit of single track thrown in (done a lot of the ride the day after on a jeep Safari)

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Try insoles they can help.</p>
I used to suffer the same as you 12hr shifts, 18,000 steps on a night shift. I always suffered with the company supplied shoes.

Company Resently changed to  uvex safely shoes for us I thought here we go again being crippled by new shoes finding insoles to fit properly.

They are like wearing a pair of slippers! Uvex 1 x-tended Support Safety Shoes – for Men/Women – Grey/Black https://amzn.eu/d/0mUNsOi

Ive reigned things in abit since turning 50

More local riding rather than proper hills.

This years holiday without the wife is fishing in france rather than mountain biking in the alps.

I maybe thinking of somewhere else.  Has it still got the visitors book in the tin box at the top?

Multi policy’s not always cheaper.
Had a mid life crisis as my wife calls it and bought a cheap mx5.
Multi car was £200 extra add to my everyday vehicle insurance. Stand alone policy was £120 😐 using the ncb from being a named driver on my wife’s insurance.
Named drivers can bring costs down in some cases my van is cheaper with my wife as named driver
Who knows how insurance companies come up with policy costs?

I was lucky the planets were aligned when my bike was stolen
I had a call at work from police I think we have recovered your bike.
I did not even know it was gone!
Garage had been broken into bike taken
While riding away bike got a puncture.
They stashed the bike away some one saw them and called police.
Officer who attended was friends with someone I rode with he asked if he knew anyone with trance x

Very lucky!

My electricity meter starting working about a year after it was fitted
Two years and I still have to send gas meter readings

Small local resort that my dad’s boss used to visit when work based him in Switzerland

I can’t help with places to go but Get fitter skiing uses different muscles to cycling.
Get some more sessions in at the snow dome

First time on a ferry in 20 years this Sunday night. Wife is making full use of no weight restriction on cases, how much weight can a fiat doblo carry?
Wish me luck!

It’s a shame they didn’t make it clear from when tickets were first applied for it was only for the start/finish area the rest of the course was free
Wonder how many people failed at in the ballot so made other plans

Just flew back from Geneva they have people before the check in queue. If you are trying to check in too early they tell you to go away!

Don’t look at the things you don’t want to hit.

This is the year catching up on all the covid delayed trips, haven’t taken any refunds just moved them

Went to corralejo a few weeks ago with other half. Seamed strange getting on a plane after so long.
Avoided covid all this time a tested positive when I got home!
