If you wanted a little offroad, you could turn right off the A58 at the Westfield Pub, the follow the road for about a mile until you get to here, then bear right and follow it onto Wellands Lane which is a bridleway that’ll take you down into Cleckheaton.

When you get to the main road turn left, follow the road until you get to a major junction with traffic lights. Straight on and up the hill (Spen Lane) for a couple of miles, again you’ll get to a major junction with lights where you turn left. Follow the road for a mile or so, then bear right at the Shoulder of Mutton pub. Follow the road round and down, at the end turn right and go down to the entrance of Oakwell Hall.

You can ride up through the park, under the M62 and up to Drig bypass. Go over the bridge, to the road then bear left and follow the road to the main road and turn right – back on the A58 again.

Bit long winded maybe, but it’s a bit of fun if you’re not in a hurry one day! :-)

Canal?

Unless I’ve misread your post, it sounds like you’re going from nowt to a lot in a short space of time and consequently doing yourself a nasty. Take it easy, build up slowly and keep doing the exercises the physios give you. You might however have to accept that you have a little niggling pain for the rest of your life, but that’s the price you pay for using your body to it’s fullest extent :-)

Rocky Mountain (LC2R)
Mountain Cycle?

Hang on, you’re right – it’s a small, long. I didn’t buy a complete bike, just frame/forks then built it up, so not sure about the wheels that come on the complete bike.

Yep, short ‘rat with MTB risers and a 110mm stem. Guess you could use drops, but you might have to use a v.long stem?

Cover it with polythene or fleece for a few days and hope the sun comes out :-)

Alternatively, plant in pots now then transfer to ground as seedlings?

Built mine with low rise MTB bars, done the road “thing” and didn’t really like the riding position of drops TBH. Does that help? :-)

Guess you had to be there eh? :-)

Rules are open to interpretation :-)

I imagine it’s hard to put into laymans terms what must be one of the most technical “sports” in the world!

I bought some CX300s from Amazon for about £15, much better than the standard ones I got with my MP3 player

Recuva from Piriform

Leave a pound under your pillow along with a little note for the tooth fairy telling him which one to take out :-)

Alternatively – NHS direct will give you the emergency dentist number. DO NOT do it yourself, seriously.

You can grow baby salad leaves with not much room, just plant ’em then pick ’em not long afterwards!

Just got me an allotment, and after a few hard weekends clearing, digging and building raised beds, I’ve just started planting:

Spud Patch
Maris Piper (in)
Desiree – chitting
King Eds – chitting

Bed 1
Parsnips
Carrots
Beetroot
Turnips

Bed 2
Onions
Shallots
Garlic
Spring Onions
Leeks

Bed 3 (pending!)
Broccoli – purple sprouting and “regular”
Peas
French beans
Courgettes
Cauliflowers

Fruit Bed
Raspberries
Gosseberries
Blueberries
Apple

Will be chucking some salad leaves in wherever there’s room :-)

It’s cost me a grand total of about £20 so far for the plants/seeds, and £30 for timber (old scaffolding boards) for the beds. Fingers crossed!

For 8 miles I wouldn’t bother with a drink, save a bit of weight that way :-)

I’d put some lights in there for a bit, just in case you fancy a longer ride home (in which case my drink comment would not apply!)

or try Freecycle etc

That is all kinds of wrong to me, but if you like it WGAS :-)

Don’t forget there’s likely to be a totally separate mechanism for collecting payments; so a computer took your money, a person probably dealt with the picking, then a person dealt with authorising the refund, then the banks keep hold of it whilst it “clears” – ie a computer transfers your money back again. Muppet indeed :-)

De-sensitization mate. At the risk of sounding heartless it has rather been shoved in our faces for a long time – sooner or later we’re bound to get used to it sadly. Things like the Baby P case are still uncommon and therefore shocking. Don’t worry, I feel the same :?

Just register it and you’ll get the code, it’s free for home use anyway.

Get yourself a Canon Powershot of some description, and use CHDK – here :D

There’s a search you know! :D

If you’re relatively computer savvy, you could try FreeNAS – http://www.freenas.org/

Any old PC (within reason!), network card, couple of big disks and away you go

Bit of marmite too, omnomnomnomnomnomnom! :-)

Watch out World!

Put a bit of Bicarb or some charcoal BBQ briquettes in them overnight, sorted :-)

Or wash your feet every now and then! :P
