Enjoyed the scenery and wide-open spaces to be found in the boozer Had.6 pints of 7% Stout Tues afternoon followed by 4 hrs of sparked out - I blame the table service. Campsite is fully booked for the weekend ahead. There were only 8 people on site Tues & Wed. & we had a grand fire both nights - supper cooked on the fire Tuesday night. Wed lunch on meths burners & 7pm dinner in the pub.
Took my nylon Vango rather than the heavy F/10 - error - blinking rain last night was like popcorn exploding in your ear.. The bonus is that the tent is dry and stowed when the F/10 would still be on the line.
Happy daze.

Pulled the trigger on a pair of rubbers - T31s - I hope they live up to the hype and my expectations.

I have been using T31,s for the last year or two and I am pleased with them, seem good in rain or shine.
The only thing is they seem to pick up a lot of grit and glass and as I found today 2 nails!
I commute into London and do a lot of filtering so it may just be bad luck, but every weekend when checking the tyres I am always pulling out chinks of glass or grit embedded in them
I can't remember so many on the PR3's I had a few years back.
I think I was lucky with today's nails, 1 very short, the other at an oblique angle and doesn't seem to have punctured, fingers crossed. I will keep checking pressures

Did an oil and filter change. Then knocked over the oil oil container. Should stop the weeds(and any other lifeforms) growing there for a while.
Then I went for a 20 mile pootle to help get the new front tyre working. Nice to have some dry weather.

Got mine out for the first time in 15 weeks.
Did a safety check, went to a local factory carpark for some SloMo practice, then off round the Culross ring anticlockwise to blow away the cobwebs.
Magic.
Except for the eejits blocking the road in Culross (I did a 180 and diverted) and the major two-car accident that had closed the Kincardine / Dunfermline road Eastbound. We were convoyed Westwards behind a lit-up cop car.
Still the best 40 miles for a long while.

the same scenario made me swap the half stone/half grass frontyard for concrete a few years ago. Still knock over things, though...
i use an oil bund and i can kick it (yes you can) and it just stubs my toe

Rode it 203 miles, made a couple of detours on the way home to Uppingham and stopped in Rockingham for tea n'cake. Saw a 1934 BSA V twin sidevalve outfit.
