I want to be informative here, rather than critical, so I hope this is how it comes across. There is a risk in 'pushing it in a heavy cog'....

White stoat (ermine) with a little black tip on it's tail - along the Pennine Way between Low and High Force. Cute.

You haven't had it imaged? You don't have any reliable information on which to base your recovery program, i'd get it done quickly before it...

Good point on speed limits and vans and one that I wasn't aware of until a few years ago. However, changing your vehicle type with DVLA is...

Something else to bear in mind if you are converting a van or buying one that someone else has converted is to check it's registration status. If...

I've had good physios and bad ones. An alternative view is that if you go to a physio you have already self-diagnosed (or "hope") that a physio...

My wife now has an invitation from the GP for the Bakewell cottage hospital, much closer than the Arena the other side of town. All is good, it just...

Yeah, with three follow ups too. He thinks its likely to be a cartilage tear of some sort, probably with some old damage currently flaring up and...

Pairs of ravens doing that courtship display thing where they fly high then swoop down together, alternating flying upside down. Much like that...

Turned up this afternoon. So I'm getting jabbed tomorrow and Mrs S on Saturday.

Have you seen a physio about your knee?

Good luck... I did the 10 Peaks Lakes (45 miles, 20,000ft) off the back of 40 mile weeks, and only a couple of previous Haworth Hobbles and LM42,...

Update: This past week has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Last Saturday I tried another run in the hills from home and my knee was pretty rubbish,...

I’ve actually removed my toe clips now and replaced them with pedals that have the threaded grip pins sticking out. These I really really like and...

7.66 miles, 3,548 feet, 2 hours 34 minutes: Wansfell Pike, with three times down and twice up the race route to/from the kissing gate. Sunshine and...

This is why toeclips are more suitable for most cyclists; you can get off easily and walk around and enjoy the view and then send us great photos of...

I'm amused that the rubbish tip is higher than any of the natural hills.

I did exactly the opposite moving from Birmingham to the Peak District leaving a great job for one I knew I wouldn't like. Job lasted 6 years I was...

No. Falkensteiner, same hill as last year I'm afraid :( I live in flatland and I hate it. The only possibility of climbing is by doing hill reps on...

I thought seriously about going that route, but don't think my van has many years left (age and rust etc.) So the investment didn't add up. I shall...

I also know he was found by the side of the road apparently beaten and died at 32 which may have been connected with his reluctance to support the...

14 and a bit miles and 1,325 feet for me yesterday lunchtime. Straight up the road from home to Ribblehead, right on the Hawes road but only to just...

I looked at all manner of alternatives, but there are no other cylinders (like calor) that actually fit the small diameter space set for the...

Yes I meant 2 months continuous use. We have plenty of hot drinks and cook 2 meals a day in the van so the hob is on the go quite a lot. We didn't...

If you have room for a 6kg propane cylinder it will last longer, a refill will cost less than the smaller cylinder, it will burn better in the cold...
