I’m also a key worker and I’m just kissing my furlough that I’d taken for the event goodbye 🤨 Stay safe ever...

Looking for lights suggestions, as I’m doing the Dales Divide for the first time and don’t want to come unstuck with no lights in the middle of nowhere
Any bright ideas for something with a good lumens and holds a long charge please folks?

Hey I’m totally ok with criticism. I’m a cack-handed diy phobe at best! Gonna take what you guys say and learn. Lookout for my next effort

Just made a tin-can stove this evening from tomato tin (Sainsbury’s ). Very happy with its performance as it boiled my MyTi mug 650 in no time at all using a tiny amount of meths! Happy camper

I have the tacx flow smart trainer, got it from Halfords 2 years ago...but see they’re still selling it at a pretty good price £180.

Just pulled the trigger on Ribble Adventure Ti bike as an early Christmas / Birthday pressie to myself
So excited can’t wait for it to arrive!

Not a cork it’s a whistle in the spout so stays in toot toot!

Postie brought this yesterday first time tryout this morning never had one before
