Not exactly the same style but I think the same application  – nut for rock anchors used in civil engineering projects  http://

Thanks for all your help Forum Folk

Yes knuckle thread form looks like a visual fit , found some mentions of applications on railway carriages.  I thought it might be a railway related item because of where it was found.  Area has had lots of work done to reinforce the cuttings / banks – perhaps it is a  civil engineering widget ?

I appear unable to attach a picture of this nut .. the mystery deepens sorry

Hope this works

Picked this up on a whim from the library

Gotta love your local library

Anybody rewind or manufacture the old style controllers?
Have a loft full of track and cars but I remember all the controllers had all seen better days.

Missing that ozone smell

Great news

Sounds line Waderider has pinched my dvd collection

Bit of a PSA, Peter Powell Kites are available again – My boy was flying my 2014 version only yesterday.

Had a rear tooth whipped out on Wednesday after mulling over the Root filling option – was for sure the quickest option. No real pain from it so far (touch wood)

Roberts Bluetone 40 £70 ish. Had one for a while now and should tick all the boxes mentioned

My 2 boys will be OK with std seatbelts

Watching Trail-Rat’s post with interest as we too have been thinking of doing a simialr thing.
Anyone know California rules on childseats and height/weight/age?

I cannot believe nobody has mentioned home grown (Bristol) talent.
I re-watched Wallace and Gromit a matter of loaf and death yesterday and I can’t think how it could be improved.

Check out Richard Hawley’s new one – track down in the Woods is quite apt……

I agree with Bushwacked

The Bluebell clock is ticking !!

Date noted – see you there

I might be up that way for a jog around on Saturday if not p***ing down. Will carry out a tyre track count and Let you know. Must admit as soon as the bluebells are out it will be really difficult for me to not go for a ride in what I’ve always condidered my backyard (after climbing up the Portway of course!)

Racetrack wouldn’t take long to clear when we get OK to go in. Was up there on Saturday morning for a run and checked out Shrine, One Who Waits and the Racetrack. Was good to see the Shrine has been left alone by bikers but at the same time sad to see it covered in leaves and “resting”.
Bumped into 2 riders on the GP2 and stopped and had a chat. One lives in the Birdlip area and was unaware of the current issues regarding biking. I did not see any signage on the Tyson’s plot to inform uninformed riders.
Hope there is some news soon fromNE as I would hate to miss the first bluebells of 2012.

Was amazed to see a bumblebee earlier today and a ladybird at the weekend. Hopefully will be allowed back into my local woods (Cranham) in time to see the bluebells by bike.

C-Tek (Cheapist one they do) keeps my MX5 ready to go during the winter months. Not had any problems with it and has extended the life of what was a tired battery when I got the car.

Rodger Hi

please add me to the list as I have been known to frequent these woods since 1998 on 2 wheels as well as on foot.

Keep up the good work

Hello WTRFPSU
The lower part of the Shrine rides right over the water tank shown as a covered reservoir on detailed mapping of the area . Deffo not a secret bunker or Jimbo's HQ!

Not teccy enough to post the map up here but can be found on the County council Rights of Way website mapping GlosMAP http://prow.gloucestershire.gov.uk/website/ppp/viewer.htm

Agree with dobiejessmo regarding litter. seeing as it is a scheduled site and we are a a bit cheeky riding on it, digging and littering does not do us riders any favours.

Jimbo hasn't been mentioned for a while on here…thought he had been locked away (not in the watertank though)

Anyone got the link that shows how to replace the bearings in a planet X rear hub ?

Not me but a few in the audience walked out of a film called "Man bites Dog". Must admit I was glad the the film was in B/W.

Beware men with shotguns come shooting season…. I was warned some time back by a gamekeeping type.
