Re: cycle/hiking shoe suggestions
A 3 mile hike?!! Theyve done the HT550 so significantly more than 3 miles of hiking with zero issues. I've got wide feet and they fit me really well. You could try them and return them if not suitable. I've ordered a 43 and a 44 just incase the sizing has changed

Re: cycle/hiking shoe suggestions
Pearl Izumi......I've just ordered another pair of these. Pair I've got now are over 3years old and still goin strong. Most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Like trainers but with cleats and this version has a vibram sole. They are sized small though so go up a size. https://www.sportpursuit.com/cat...

Re: King Alfreds Way.
Some of the down hills are a bit rough and if its damp you may want the extra gription of an mtb tyre. It is doable on a gravel bike but I remember thinking 'I'm glad I'm not on the Camino' Make sure you've got a bit of spare food and dont expect all the pubs on the map to be open or still be a pub ...

Re: UK (off road / gravel) Rides with Tons of Climbing?
Not quite in England but if you want a hilly gravel route with lots of climbing and some great views, remote at times and loads of places to camp check out The Argyll Trail.

Re: Help me with my creak
I've had this a few of times Dave and it drives you nuts. All have resulted in pretty much a full strip down. 1 ended up being a squeaky replaceable mech hanger. Quick smear of grease behind it and job done. Another turned out to be the pin that stops the chain wedging between the ring and crank arm...

Re: Straightening A Silwing Ridgeline?
I bought 1 years ago in a sale and never used it in anger for that very reason Ray. Loved the shape but really didn't like the dip in the middle so it ended up at the back of the 'might come in handy but probably won't cupboard'.
