Any Big Dummies around?

A Facebook and kayaking friend has been knocked off his big dummy and while he has survived, the bike is trashed.

Re: WRT Grid Ref's.....

No idea but with your pack rafting, you’ll be able to get to the traditional grid ref out to sea or in the middle of a lake!

Personally, I’ve got a few places I’d like to visit so I might disregard them totally!

If Hermes counts then New running trainers.

The postman did deliver though, UV filter for a Rollei 35 for a bit of retro photography and also tide time tables for N. Devon, Cornwall and Plymouth.
