Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make this one. Have a great weekend and see you all at Lords Wood.

Gravel bikes are all the rage at the moment and would pretty much fit your requirements - except possibly the gearing. They mostly have double or single chainrings which may not give you the low gears - though you can get some monster rear cassettes these days. Bear in mind that they probably...

I agree with what Ed the Ted says, a more open shelter can be better than being shut in. Nothing is as scary as the unknown.

Yes, I was out at 08:30 - early these days. I would normally be up for an overnighter but am still trying to stay as isolated as possible (I work with the elderly mostly). Fist trip is likely to be with my daughter - some time soon - Yay I have never thought of Salcey, we were planning a...

I have a few, remind me nearer the date Mike, unless you are heading to MK and you can pick it up on the way past. I am heading to Higham Ferrers in the morning, I can drop some off on the way back if you let me know your address. If I remember right you live in Wellingborough?

I have some nodules of flint I think, will check tomorrow and let you know.

Hi Hodge I was in the same boat as you last year and did quite a bit of research. Also have been out and about a fair bit in the canoe we bought. The biggest factor we have found is weight, particularly if you are car topping and going solo. Our 16 ft Novacraft Pal weighs in at under 30 kg...

I haven't a clue why. All I can say is from my reading around the internet, that is the impression I got and this was then confirmed, convincingly, by my own experience. Having said that, nothing is straight forward and maybe I had poor quality tubes or some other unknown factor was in play...

I have a black widow type catapult that I have had and used occasionally for 40 years. I recently bought and then made my own catapult for flat bands. The flat bands are way way better than the tubes on my black widow, so much so that I now consider the black widow a waste of time. There are...

Awesome Steve well done. If you need anyone to pop over check it out (I mean self isolate)for a night, Hannah is off school and I don't have much work to do:)

Make sure your PID is set up for a k type thermocouple. If you have not done this your readings could be a long way out. I did a lot of re-search a few years back when trying to calibrate my home made kiln and never found a workable solution. If you do find one I will be all ears. I did read...

Plugging a sensor into a meter is no different from plugging your thermo-couple into the PID. You wouldn't know which is more accurate, also you will get different readings in different places in the kiln. Best thing is to take HT recipies as a guide, do a load of experimentation in your kiln...

I used to carry an axe for splitting firewood but found that batoning with a big camp knife/machete was easier and safer. The knife is also lighter, takes less space and is far more versatile, so the axe doesn't now leave the house. So why is batoning so frowned on? I will have a go using...

Woodspirits 28~01 Diamond Dave 28-01 pieinthesky 28-01 provisional Steve, is it OK to post this meet elsewhere, I am thinking Edge Matters Forum

I cannot help you with the tune but I do remember John Noakes fondly and did once do the Liffey Descent - so I enjoyed watching your link. :)

The only thing all this discussion proves is that there is a lot of ambiguity, nobody really knows. In which case it seems sensible to play safe and not have to worry about it. So make sure both A and B (blade length and cutting edge length) are under 3" and you can't go wrong

My repair shop took a few days and charged £6 for repairing the toe end of both boots. I could not have bought the glue for that amount! No Brainer

I am with Stew on this one, the spirit of the law is to keep the blade length short. With B or C on their own you could in theory have a dagger with just the tip sharp. If B and A are both less than 3" then you are covered.
