Sounds about right - although we did get a special badge after 2014, it was almost an acknowledgement that it may have been a little too extreme . . .

Re: Powdered Drink Mix
It wasnt the powdered fire juice drinks you are thinking if? Birds Apeel was the one we sometimes had - not fizzy but had a sherbet type zing to it. Kellogs also did more flavours of their version Rise and Shine
I have find memories - but I'm sure it would actually be dreadful to have it now

Re: King Alfreds Way.
I work with Cycling UK on a few things and tried to get a cheeky look in advance at the route, no luck - understandably! Labrat is right so much work goes into this stuff so best to wait for the final result.
Sounds like the inaugural ride will be a good one :)

Re: Brompton slow Puncture saga...
Are the valves seated in the tubes properly?
Dont have any problems with mine, so cant think of anything 'brompton specific' other than the valves being a pain with some pump heads, but I cant see it would be that easy to dislodge the actual valve insert.

Re: How far north can you get ont' train?
Looked at a random date for tickets as we have thought about this. Came up with 400+ for two of us - this reduces to 280ish with a two together rail card. As you can buy a two together railcard for 30 (or just £10 of Tesco clubcard vouchers) it seems like a no brainer to get one if you can share the...

Bike bags for planes . . .
Any recommendations, have previously used a CTC bag for a flight but I may be feeling a Little more precious with my new bike
Trying to find details of the left luggage size allowance at the airport so it may be that we need a collapsible bike bag
Any insight would be appreciated
