Typically with a day to go, my Etrex 30 wants to hide from all my computers, so I can't load the BB route onto it.
Any ideas as to why?
I might just dash out and grab a newer device - Any suggestions please?
Serves me right for leaving it too late but HELP!

Re: BB200 route.
I was getting somewhat confused (easily done) about McDonalds in Welshpool until I twigged you were on the 300 - Hell of a detour for a Big Mac otherwise.

I'm stopping at The Aleppo in Carno. I'll see what it's like for a possible alternative for next year.

Re: The post man's been ...
I've gone back in time and am now having my milk, eggs and a few other bits delivered by a genuine milko. Or milky, as he seems to want to be known. He's been plying the streets of the Chalfonts in his electric open-side van forever, and I finally stopped him on an early dog walk a few weeks ago to...

Re: Wildlife
Some wildlife advice:
When you come across a windfall tree trunk that spans your route, don't just try and move it without checking, you might get on the wrong side of these buggers. Ouch x 3
Furthermore, don't then go back to take a photo of them. Ouch x 2.

Re: OT: if you think you're hard ...
There was a young chap at my daughter's wedding last weekend who had broken the record for this the week before, he did 333 miles in 3 and a half days. He still came second though. Amazing effort and he is off to compete in the originator event this Autumn.

There are Otters on a stretch of river near me.
