Not sure. Definitely commercial, hopefully not tied to pre-set tours?

Ha! I wonder if this will be the ones that would be too much work to convert?

Just spotted this: https://www.spirit.cymru/ "A new initiative to convert churches that are no longer in use into a network of habitable accommodation that can be connected via cycling between them." Not a lot of detail yet, but hints that it may rely on sleeping pods in old churches. Coul...

I had success with some Stormsure adhesive.

I'll do a full write up at some point, but this week saw me tick off October during a tour through Shropshire and Mid-Wales. One night in a bunkhouse, one in Claerddu bothy, and one in a church porch. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Iw9YVB2HP6dbYQGGccxzdYaz4SFU-2QGUfQbwVMczVo6is-5axzt2XhdfOV7gZE6G...

hardly even got out of breath

I'd have used a pump myself, but HYOH.

You should have posted it in the "Sleep tight, don't have nightmares!" thread.

What do you actually want to achieve? Is it a case of aiming for "a fast time", or just completing the challenge? My one and only BB200 attempt was last year, and I wanted to get round in time for a badge. TBH, I wasn't sure I'd manage the first part when I set out, but it all came good in...

Thread dredge, but it seems there's hopes for a decent drug treatment that might eradicate the disease in the wild (mice act as a reservoir for the bacteria):

I'd like the Diablo please, will PM you.

Would it be naive to think a short section of tube with a suitable ID to accept the tip of the pole would do the trick?

I'm particularly interested in the MYOG aspect. Is Stu going to be confiscating everyone's bikes then setting some sort of Scrapheap Challenge?

"He looks like he can do a load of the work for us, and we can still charge him full whack."

That raised a smile here too!

I took it to mean Shaf has a rucksack, but wants a drybag to go inside it.

I thought the accepted wisdom was to put the newer tyre on the front, as a more worn tyre is more likely to fail, and you're better off having a rear tyre failure than a front.

Like Stu says, they can always roll down smaller.

Normal?

Verena... was only able to join us for the sunny leg of the tour

Does this mean Verena's deity abilities trump Reg's rain god status?
