Whoop Ratfink As I said elsewhere, popping babies is hard work, well done on getting back so well and so soon

I managed 4.5 hours on the road... through MOnmouthsire from home to Abergavenny, Usk, Chepstow, Devauden, Trellech, MOnmouth, Rockfield, Cross Ash, Campston Hill, Llanvihangel Crucorny, Pandy and home. Toffer will know what I mean... Little de-tour to follow hounds... nice ride, but well cold...

I was using some cheap gadgets I bought the other day: heated insoles, in my neoprene and goretex winter boots... I thought they weren't doing much, as they didn't feel warm, until I ran out of batteries (they only last 3 hours) and suddenly had iceclumps for feet
