If anyone has a spare code could they email it to me please?

If got a topeak mountain morph, about ten years old and has a gauge , which I could take or leave, but it still goes well and pumps up a tyre quickly.

Bit longer than your average mini pump, however if you use a rucksack etc they fit in.

I think Rachel deserves one, but yes she has to be nominated. Mind you, her achievements ( or many other professional mountain bikers ) do not appear to get much recognition in the mainstream press or TV.

i think we may just scrape one in.

Unfortunately no geo location on the EXIF data on the Renault scenic photo but it was taken on 15/07/15 on a GoPro hero.

The photo with the halfwit in front of the Renault scenic…

Is that not the service station on the A59 down from Gisburn? Has a McDonalds and Co-Op / filling station? Looked familiar? If so he will be one of the local idiots. Just keep an eye out.

Apologies for rubbish Google street view. If you zoom right in now it shows as a Somerfield as oppose Co-Op.

Ah couldn’t find them on Great Rock website, but I emailed him and he said he wasn’t doing them for time being. Would have like to go with him, but will look into the suggestions so far.

Cyclewise in Cumbria seem to have some good courses and think I’ve seen them on a STW article once a little while back.

Thanks

I’m having to adapt at the mo,went due to a broken ankle which I can’t put weight upon. If anyone has any suggestions for seated KB exercises ( or lay down ) let me know please.

Got myself a Bellroy last year, nice and slim and fits nice in my pocket. Had enough space for the essentials which is what I wanted rather than where I’ve got all sorts of crap in it!

Thanks for the replies so far. Once i’m able to get the lid off (currently on crutches, dont fancy a one legged balance with a cistern lid!) i’ll look inside and inspect and report back.

Thanks,for the replies. No idea where the water feed comes from etc. I’ll take the top off it and explore.

Thanks. I’m right at the beginning, like holding the instrument the right way up / down beginning!

Thanks folks. Justin seems the one!

This thread is only going to go further downhill…..

Its a shit thing but ultimately the best for,your little,friend and he is no longer suffering now. Remember the fun times.

I had to say cheerio to my springer, Heidi last September. She was 13 and I’d had her since 12 weeks old. She has a tumour on her lip and managed ok for about 8 months as normal then she deteriorated over 3 days. The decision was made for itself but to carry it out wasn’t easy. The vet was fantastic and compassionate and I miss her so much still, and that was in September . I was doing some gardening the other day and found one of her tennis balls under a bush. Made me smile, but made me cry.

I remember being in the vets when Heidi passed and I said to the vet ” I never getting a dog again, I can’t bear this”…. It was a selfish statement as I’d just lost my buddy, but as she said you’ve had so much enjoyment and happiness ( both ways ) just give it time and you may want another. Hopefully we will when it’s time.

Anyway, I’m waffling now. I know how, it feels, it’s not easy. Remember the fun times and happiness your buddy gave you and the family and find a nice tribute. We planted a rose bush last week and put Heidi’s ashes and ball with it too. The rose bush was called ” sweet dreams” which I thought was fitting.

Take it easy.

These chaps are local to you and I got a shed and gate from the a few years back. Good service too. Looking on their website though they don’t mention sheds. Maybe worth a call / drop in as they do stuff to order.

Red lion opposite does good food too 🙂

Nice one.

Just come across thins, excellent stuff and sounds like you’re making good progress to achieve your goals.

I’ve never been what would be called overweight and when I was younger I was always proper skinny, used to get called skeletor at school! Bulked out a bit with age ( yay… Now 36!) and noticed weight was creeping on. I’m relatively fit with cycling, running, gym, climbing but started reading about food and nutrition and that’s changed my outlook a lot. Secondly I undertook a gym instructor course to learn something new, which I enjoyed.

The last 2 years have been a change for me with my diet and exercise , don’t get me wrong I love crisps and beer like the next bloke ( or lady!) but I’ve learnt a lot.

Keep it up, excellent work!

Thanks for the replies , seems Ocado is the favourite! Will give them a whirl.

Thanks for the code too.

Beagle – ouch ! Sounds nasty that , always one of those injuries I’ve never fancied and thought with being on the bike it’ll happen one day! However running brings ankles! Great!

Thanks for the offer of company beagle, yes I’m still in bramhall , may take you up on that! Cheers.

Yeah my bike is available for shake down, just come and give me a shout!

I’m not the best at sitting still, but coping ok, at least the weather is good (there i go, i’ve cursed it!!!) to sit outside.

Yes I was happy to escape the notorius Stepping Hill, but to be fair they were all great staff and done a top job!

Some photos for those who want to see, nothing outrageous, just a bit of swelling…excuse my hanging feet!!

Nice one. Good luck with the new post, seems they done you a favour in the long run, not that it seemed so at the time.

I may give those a whirl….

I’ve a guitar upstairs that never got round to learning to play so a good time to do so I think. Annoy the other half and neighbours!

Now there’s an idea….

Thanks for the tips folks. Yes I’ll be doing some upper body stuff to keep me sane at lease. Maybe there’s s chance for SPD Crutches?!

I’m sticking to knitting and bringing my going to bring forward me ” let myself go date” from 60 to 36!

Big set back for everything. I’m no good at sitting still. Best learn. Quickly.

Here is my lovely Heidi who’s sadly no longer with us. She passed away last September after a nasty tumour. She was 13, but besides that tumour she was in good health and spirits and was full of beans. She’s absolutely missed every day. Love seeing these threads of happy dogs.

I had deezer for a while and was good but didn’t seem to have the range, maybe that’s different now.

I use Apple Music now and have done for about 6 months, I like it and can use it across my iPhone and iPad. Plenty of choice. I certainly get my monies worth.

I’m no engineer but it looks mental.

Listing has ended so maybe some crazy person has bought it…

Thanks for the replies… Will get some dog poo bags to but my old boys in!

Obviously ladies can reply if they’ve experienced something similar!

Edit – i think I may have already asked this question on here in the past, so i’m duplicating! I just like the attention and talking about mens bits!

Try these guys http://www.cellebrite.com 🙂

I don’t have children but my younger brother joined up and enjoys it. He’s army but attached to a RAF regiment so gets to play in Chinooks. Has seen a bit of the world, hot and sandy too and got some good skills from it he can use when he comes out. People don’t have to sign up for 10 years etc it’s generally done on 4 year contracts now.

He gets paid well and will get a pension too. Getting a good trade will serve him well in future. Of course there’s the chance of combat , goes with the territory.

I spent 9 years in the reserve forces (TA) and enjoyed it. Learnt a lot, grew up a lot, gained a lot and had a laugh and met some new friends.

Personally I’d say go for it.

Nice looking bike! All of a sudden I fancy a new bike, something different from my Lappy Zesty. This Capra seems amazing. And looks good too.

Unfortunately not this year, line up looks really good! Went in 2014 and it was great although being later on in the season there wasn’t much snow left. Get up to the Hintertux Glacier for some good stuff up there.

Got back from Snowboxx in Avoriaz on Saturday, music was ok, but the best bit was the snow conditions, able to board right out of the door!

Hoping to get to Snowbombing next year!

Enjoy!

Great write up and pics. I particularly like that one by the hut in Geirangerfjord. I’d like to go!

A stunt cock..

Otherwise an endurance driver in a nice Prototype car, running the LM24 and the like, big endurance races..

The Train conductor was ‘where’s wally!

Check with bike register or local police to see what it said bike is stolen.?

Funny I should stumble in this. Ran 10 miles today in Asics tights… Have done for a while yet today was the first time by Sac Magi? chaffed. Slapped some sudocrem on them now. Not pleasant.

Being a civil servant too, there’s support mechanisms in place (not sure which one you work for) but we have a counselling service. never used it myself, but some of my staff have and found it helpful.

Got nothing else to help you with as never been in your situation, but keep strong and keep busy. You can come through it.
