    Had me puzzled, Sandwich!
    We’ll be walking when we’re in Garmisch & B’gaden. Currently studying relevant Kompass maps and the Cicerone guide. Looking forward to getting away.

    Thanks for suggestions.
    Augustiner in Arnulf Str is on the list, Alpin.
    Also Mikes bike tour.
    Interesting comments re Dachau. Not sure I could cope with it, frankly, which is why I thought the 2 museums I mentioned in the original post might be better for us – if it all gets a bit much we can walk out into the light again.
    Dunno how I feel treating the camp as a stop on a tourist itinerary. Confused feelings on this.
    It was our intention to visit the Eagles Nest from Berchtesgaden, Ecky.

    Unless I’ve missed it, surprised Louise hasn’t been mentioned yet.

    Oldest is 10 years. Very occasionally pop the bearings out, clean, regrease and reassemble. Race face and shimano are disposable, imho, which goes against the grain.

    Slim pickings in Perth, Concorde in St Johns Square, until Goldrush opened up on the Old High St. Move to Edinburgh in 78 was a revelation. Cockburn St, Phoenix Records on the High Street just round the corner, then on to the small narrow shop on South Bridge, before going across to Greyfriars Market. Once in a while down to a shop on Henderson Row, to feed my passion for Springsteen boots.

    FF appeal completely lost on me. Quiet bit, fast and loud, shouty, slow it down a bit then speed it up again: repeat. Naw, not for me, though I did try. Stormzy tho’, yeah I can see the appeal & I’m 57 ffs!

    Poor. Lacks random capitalisation and insufficient bad language. Use of bold a nice touch, though suggests over thought.

    Good running socks = balega in our house. Not cheap, but last an eternity, and don’t lose their stretch or softness. Never had significant blster problems, though 40 years of running has toughened my feet up! I’d suggest a smudge of Vaseline on the susceptible area.

    I watched ‘The Cowboys’, John Wayne, the other week. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Yoof didn’t even look up from the iPad.

    Folk horror? I thought my rigid, singlespeed, steel, 26″ was increasingly niche but wtf is folk horror?

    Describing them as ‘masterminds’ is pushing it a bit, tho’ I can appreciate to a degree what they are doing. Shrouding it in bollocks doesn’t help.

    Hit a large muntjac at 70mph, early one Sunday morning last summer. Shot out of a heavily overgrown dual carriageway verge, with no chance to even start moving my foot towards the brake pedal. Made a helluva mess of the front of the Golf – bumper, grille, bonnet, rad all totalled, flesh & skin all over the front of what was left. £2,800 repair bill.

    Agree with the ‘don’t over think it’ opinions. Been at it for 40 + years and never give a thought to paces vs breaths, even when racing in my prime. Maybe that’s why I was never more than a good club standard xc runner……..

    Loads of vinyl of no value other than as memories.

    I’d never noticed them until last year. Lots on our lavender. As above, not good for them. Don’t run fast so easy to catch and make for a satisfying squish……..

    Link doesn’t seem to be working?
    Been dipping into this thread over preceding months & really enjoying it. Great pics up above. As a wheels on the ground type of guy this is a lot more appealing to me than much of the gnarr stuff that often features!
    Keep up the good work.

    Had detached retina around 1998, which was dealt with successfully. This made me susceptible to an early cataract and in due course one formed. Actual op was pretty straightforward though still around -2. Was due to have other eye done to balance sight – was pretty myopic previously, but first certainly wasn’t an unqualified success, so won’t be done unless/until I need it. Also suffered a secondary cataract a few years later which was easily dealt with. It’s actually a cloudy membrane which forms behind the implant.
    Long and short is if you need it you need it. Actual op is nothing to be afraid of.

    Linn Sondek LP12, 30 years old. Admittedly it’s only the plinth that’s original now. Lots of vinyl from late seventies.

    Not being sarky, but have you thought about sticking a couple of tubes back in? 7 months down the line and still not working reliably for you. Must be costing you a fortune in time and money.

    Good shout, Jekkyl. Used to regularly youth hostel on my own in the lakes, albeit 15-20 years ago, while Mrs took school kids to outdoor centres. Used to really look forward to it, planing my walking routes, occasional wild camping and a few pints in the pub after dinner, all at my own, please myself pace.
