Finally managed to get my arse into gear and get out. I read Rockbus's post about faffing about and understood completely. I mean, sometimes, there are genuine reasons and this year, much like last year, there have been genuine reasons. All the same, though, I need to put in a bit of effort to get s...

Thanks very much for all the replies and suggestions. Certainly have helped explain the options. I'll do a bit of reading on whether to go bike specific or not and then start seriously looking. I'd like to get it sorted for a trip around Trossachs at the end of Sept. Cheers again.

At the other end of the scale is Mat Ryder's films of his attempt that have been getting released over the last few weeks. Maybe cos he's a pretty normal guy, doing fairly normal distances and is a little more relatable to me than some of these other guys. I did like Joe Nation's too though. Lachlan...

Yes, that's the one. Just found that Back Country are selling them. I'd thought, from searching previously, that they weren't readily available in the UK. In absence of one being available here, I'll head over there are purchase new. Admittedly being lame by being picky on colour.

Yes, for navigation. Want to be able to put on routes to be able to follow easier than on the phone. Not concerned with avge speed etc but knowing distances travelled would be of help. I know others do use a phone and I have used a second phone to add routes to but this was without data and was a bi...

Black preferred to match what I already have. Thanks

Hello Folks, I'm looking to buy my first bike computer but could do with advice on which would be best to go for and which one's are best to avoid. Budget-wise, I'm thinking £100...sound reasonable for a used bit of kit? I guess battery life, usability and reliability are the main considerations. An...

Yes, posted without thinking or using fingers to count. 40th!

They've re-done the film too and that's getting screened in Sept, I think. Just brilliant. The vinyl has added songs ie Tom Tom Club etc. All they need now is to sort themselves out, get a few gigs together, make $$$ and the rest of us can enjoy it live. All too many bands reform and make a shot-sho...

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. 50th anniversary edition vinyl. Sounds great. Freakin' expensive though.

Great choice. Can't go wrong with them. Looks good too. I had a friend who put a small blue led directed towards the clear platter. Looked great in the dimmer lighting. My Daughter is also a Swifty and has all her releases on vinyl. Looks like she's caught the bug and is now moving into less poppy m...

Put a deposit down on a new turntable

Exciting. What turntable are you going for?

Shaf, they're in Trimingham, near Cromer. It is a temporary RSPB set-up to allow them to be looked after. They're keeping an eye on predators, eg foxes, stoats, egg collectors, as well as managing those that want to see them. I think this is the second year they've turned up now.

Brilliant! And there's me crying at not being able to to lose the last few kgs. Seriously put to shame

Another run this morning past the same spot. Deer there again with its head above the crop. Didn't make any effort to hide this time, just watched as I ran past. Probably judging my effort. Dog still clueless

Way to go, mate! Good effort that...even if the dog helped. I've felt we were along the same course, even when things have been not so good recently. Doesn't mean it ends in failure, only a new start. I haven't weighed in a while, partly because I haven't been around my usual weigh-in date but also ...

Also out for a run today, where I head up a trail at the side of a field. Spotted the ears of a deer in amongst the crop, as it watched me run past. As I got directly alongside it, it lowered itself til I passed. Couldn't have been more than 10m away. My clueless dog ran on ahead without noticing at...

Shaf, the name comes from the fact they do catch bees and flying insects and when they catch one they smash the sting out of it. The photo was from a phone through a long range viewer that the RSPB had set up. They looked impressive and clearer through the viewer itself, really nice colours. We watc...

Bee Eater birds in Norfolk. Took my daughter to see them this morning. Looked lovely. One of them had a close shave after getting chased by a Peregrine Falcon. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc-0vKwtDaigZNONTdUuvH0FP9tzzR3SGLwGO_5Ayh7aLlO3CEuJH2ftseJtUN-EqfJnPLIOxRlm47yzOMuRCVAyjPQ8A3d6o3z...
