Re: Gower July 24th?
Already emailed Stu , as I’m out too , remember me joking about my blood pressure when we were over Cannock Steve? We’ll had my check 190/120 , panicked look on nurses face grabs the doc , next thing all my meds have been changed but I get seriously dizzy at points through the day now plus I’m p1ssing like a race hos all the time and NO strenuous exercise until it’s back down and I can loose a couple of the tablets , see taking the p1ss even out of myself still comes back and bites me in the backside

My missus was told that if she goes over 110 diastolic that she was to head straight to A&E so not surprised they panicked.

Re: Gower July 24th?
Who is interested in camping Friday night?
Ideally not too far from a parking location as Sean and I won't arrive from Soton until late evening.
Can always move to the main start sat morning.

Re: Gower July 24th?
For the Friday night camp was thinking….
Park at the start location.
Head to the end of Pwlldu Lane
Camp on the cliffs

In the morning
Pack
and a leisurely ride back to the cars.
Weather permitting.

Re: Gower July 24th?
I’m up for this and will be camping on Friday night as well. What time are you thinking of meeting on Friday evening?
I’ve been abart a bit
Re: Gower July 24th?
We will likely arrive 8pm ish from Soton.
All being well.
We could always meet at the camp spot.
Should be easy to spot.
People with bike looking shifty waiting for all the walkers to go before putting up tents and tarps.
Or we meet at a pub
And ride down at 8:30pm ish.

Re: Gower July 24th?
I was wondering where might be good to camp....that sounds like a plan.
I was also wondering about Saturday morning breakfast at the airport cafe?

Re: Gower July 24th?
Suggest anyone camping meets at the joiners arms.
There are seemingly benches outside, and does food.
There is also a spar down the road. Wouldn’t be a boner ride without a Spar.
The Joiners Arms

Let “us” know you’re camping on the Friday.
Otherwise, head down to the cliff
Breakfast
That’s too much planning.

Re: Gower July 24th?
Has anyone else noticed that the forecast for this week looks brilliant ........ until Saturday
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Gower July 24th?
I hadn't, untill you mentioned it. Obviously dry would be nice but I'll take wet and 20 degrees over wet and 5 degrees anyday.

Re: Gower July 24th?
Yet another outing I'll have to bail on due to crap things (work) getting in the way and that are out of my control. Any one else done with sh*t getting in the way of fun. Don't know what I did in a previous existence, all I know is that it was bad...no custard creams at the supermarket bad (Note: this might of been the straw that broke the camels back)
Re: Gower July 24th?
That's a shame Karl.
On another note, reading the "giving up booze" thread is making me feel slightly relieved that the weekend may not involve a compulsory "great booze up" and wall to wall vomiting...

Re: Gower July 24th?
Usually a little more civilised.
Tea and cake.
A pub crawl; however, on a bike, and between cafes.

Hi all,
Sorry can't make it. My Mum needs a hand leading her hay.
Hope you have a good weekend

Re: Gower July 24th?
I gave the bike the once over at the weekend and swapped the ratio to my 'Wales' set (34/20) ready. I rode it to work this morning and can advise that ratio makes my flat cruising speed about 13 mph so I hope no one is in a rush

Re: Gower July 24th?
I haven't forgotten we were meant to get out for a ride by now.... the bathroom is taking longer than I'd thought it would. My prediction earlier in this thread that we'd have a flushing toilet by now* was also a bit optimisticIn Reverse wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 10:50 am No chance I'll be able to get down there for a saturday morning start I'm afaraid so I'm also out.

* I've put off fitting the new cistern until I've finished decorating the wall. Jane has got used to the orange bucket we fill in the Kitchen as the flush. This is the luxury option, on the days when I remove the pan to work on the pipework under the floor the bucket goes in the shed for to be used for..... well I'm sure you can work it out
