Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Not an easy thing to do V especially as we get older and the prospect of living without someone can seem harder than the reality of continuing to live with them. These things have a habit of working out though.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
There's been a stay of execution Reg.In other, not cheery, news, I heard they were closing the Welshpool base of Air Ambulance, combining it with Caernarvon, and basing it somewhere on the north coast instead. Rumour or......?

Move south a little here Shaf. Plenty of off road tracks over the mountains. Some may not be 100% legal RoW but they're well used by bikes.

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
Keep with your single bottle and buy a filter. Also, consider carrying a bladder which can be filled up just prior to stopping for the night.
Water's heavy, think of ways to carry as little as you can.
