I do listen to R4 a lot and enjoy quite a lot of their programs but my Swedish girlfriend doesn’t tolerate The Archers (she doesn’t know what she’s missing!) and other R4 dramas enough to listen to R4 all day to get to the good stuff, hence why I’m looking for some podcasts.

Can’t stand In Our Time any more, I listened to quite a lot maybe 5 yrs…[Read more]

Butcher, that sounds right up my street.

Well thank you, there is plenty to look through there and I’m sure we’ll find something worth listening to.

I don’t have a pic but we used a bunch of old apple boxes sanded up and stacked together. Looked pretty nice.

Pretty clear video here that explains what will happen

I can’t give you a certain answer but apart from what you’ve written the graphics card spec is probably relevant too.

We were there for the Hope women’s race last October and did as Danposs suggests, you might get a bit more wind up there but what a view! Isn’t that what ‘vanlife’ is all about? 😉

Reckon you’re giving us the whole story.

I shouted again “oi, there is a queue mate” only to be met with a load of verbal back from him.**** In the end he moved

****What happened here?

Some examples of what we’ve been building
(We’ve used wood as support it plenty places 😉 )

I think if you’ve got the opportunity to own it then it is a great asset to have, then even if you don’t build trails or start and get bored you’ve still got that land to do so at some point. It won’t take that much management in my opinion apart from keeping the forest floor roughly clean of fallen wood which you might well do anyway to keep you…[Read more]

Off topic but another couple of pics from that trip, can you spot the bike in the first one?

Looking down to our house in the tiny village on the left there

Some of these blues are definitely tickling my fancy, not too sure about the metallic sort or sparkly effects though. Think my favourite so far might be the teal (is it a Stooge?) bike in Kayak’s post.

Twonks – I like that but maybe with yellow instead of white, there’s actually a few British racing green bikes on Starling’s Instagram and one…[Read more]

Kayak – do you own all those bikes now? If so, that is ridiculous! I do like your teal/turquoise examples though.

British racing green sounds cool and with some sort of sleeve on one tube in another colour I really like! Something like this

I also like the idea of a light pastel colour, anyone seen the colour they made the last Defenders in?…[Read more]

Hahaha! Let me just address some of those bike complaints. Cables are a mess, yes, I’m sorry 🙁 but they came that long and I’ve not had the tools to fix it (only been a year now), bought the kit now though so I’ll get it done!

The saddle angle – Have you seen how steep the hills are here? You need it that angle here when going up to stop…[Read more]
