Re:

Went out to do the Postman's Walk route today, didn't complete as you'll find out...

There was supposed to be a break in the weather today, and as I had the place to myself I reckoned it was the perfect opportunity to head out!
As it turns out, within 10 minutes of leaving home, the heavens opened, and it didn't stop until exactly as I parked the car...
The ground was saturated, and the rocks were slippy, but I'd driven 35 miles to do this so it was onward and upwards!

Heavenly... Do you really want to sell it?

Re:

However, it turns out not to have been a great idea after all... :facepalm:
On a very steep rocky section, I clipped a rock with the front wheel, the tyre burped and lost pressure, the front washed-out and I tumbled off and landed in the heather.... not the worst ending.... except there was a rock in heather which my head hit! :facepalm:
Luckily I got up and checked everything and all was fine, a dent in my helmet and as I type this a very sore neck, but a lucky escape!
The bike is unmarked, and if I'd taken a pump I could have carried on, but I hadn't, so it was a long trudge back to the car in the once more pissing rain.
Just one of those days best forgotten about.

I sure do, I thought it would have been right up your street too!

Re:

"Oh no it isn't!!" :facepalm:


Parcelforce is too expensive with full insurance from out here in the middle of the water... so it's still available!!

Hi, did you check parcel2go ? I had some frames shipped with them from UK to Germany and never had problems and they are cheap.

Good luck!

Re:

Yeah i did thanks, but being on the Isle of Lewis doesn't help, nobody wants to do it, and to include full insurance with Parcelforce takes it to £111
