Just listened to the BBC podcast on this:

Maybe just be a bit more assertive in tightening the bolt. The worst thing that could happen if over-tightened, would most likely be the bolt shearing.

Yes indeed, no right of way, and one could of course lift one's bike over the gate. But otherwise it might be useful to know, if riding down the valley and expecting to get through as of old at the Cavendish. The estate do employ a security squad to keep an eye on misbehaviour.

I see the gate onto the back road from the Cavendish Pavilion near Bolton Abbey is locked again, and has a sign saying no access for cyclists. A bit of an inconvenience if you have to go up to Storiths instead!
This may be old news as I haven't been that way for a while.

I'm not too bothered about cycles on paths, but it really annoys me when people call them trails!

The answer you may be looking for is with a 10mm hex key, which you can slide in after removing the hub axle. Unscrew the freehub with the hex key (some force required ) , then the bolt will slide out of the detached freehub for re-use with the new one.

Apologies if that's not what you meant.

I'm just curious about the route you describe, as I can't see where you go once on the north side of the beck, where there are then only footpaths in three directions. Is one of them rideable?

I was chatting to a new colleague from overseas the other day, at our place of work near Skipton, and asked her where she had worked previously.
"I was working in Cotswolds"
"A nice part of the world, but not one I know well" I said in reply.
A few minutes later my brain clicked.

Sorry, can't help myself, I just have to point out that there is only one e in Milnthorpe

Staff in my local Co-op are great. You've just been unlucky. Not many people are plonkers, but a few are, and unless you never leave the house you are bound to encounter one every now and again.

The Map Shop in Upton has them to order:

Hi, I only mainly Commute to work 3 miles each way, got a road bike last year and fitted, Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Folding Road Tyre I keep getting punctures on the front, I have even had a new tube fitted professionally and still get around 2 to 3 a month Is there a better Tyre for puncture...

The only person who can decide if you currently have the right gears is you! No shame in walking up if you find the climbing gets the better of you.

Picked up this flyer in Ossie's Bike Shop yesterday.

Slightly off-route, but I believe there are self-service honesty box brews at Christ Church, Abbeystead. Maybe not on a Sunday morning though.
