Had a neb at South Wheatley church earlier. (north Notts)



Been past a few times, thought i'd have a look today. I've no idea on the history (no on site information) but the arch has Norman elements and the tower includes medieval features.

Best wishes and thanks for starting (his thread, it has brought out some important points for everyone.

"similar 'sprain not break' injury, how long did it keep you off the bike" Hello, Hope you are better by now. I had a fall on black ice three weeks ago. One minute cycling along, next, on my side. Carried on to work and walked about a bit until I noticed that I had more than bruised my le...

What was the purpose of doing a stove? that would never occur to me? I wanted a combination of features not available on a comercial stove. And I like a challenge :D The unique feature not obvious from the photo is that it can be connected to either screw threaded canisters or CampinGaz canisters (...

Had a nice ride around rural South Yorkshire on Thursday it's amazing some of the stuff you can see.

Enjoying a sunny meander around North Notts

I simply rotated the bars forward so my hands fit better with the curvature. It’s important not to over do it or the hoods will be too far forward. Ideally I would have done this before taping the bars and moved the levers up a fraction. I think I will relax the cables a bit as Tatanab suggests sin...

If I stopped at all the interesting churches around here i'd never get anywhere! :roll: Last one I did actually take a look at was Alstonefield on the Staffs/Derby border in the PD. Norman arch inside - nice little church with a galleried bell tower. Also self service tea and coffee available. . On...

Might not be so easy, a train with a couple of hundred passengers would be replaced by several buses running close together :? That's not usually how a bus replacement service operates. There isn't a long line of busses travelling along in convoy calling at every station. tbf it can vary alot, it d...

Over the years working in the trade i've had the opportunity to 'test ride' literally hundreds of bikes which has allowed me to offer advice and make comparisons that have been a help when advising customers. Sometimes a test ride can be very informative - ease of gear controls, e bike performance, ...

A local bike shop of my acquaintance recently had stock stolen from a locked steel container - thieves apparently cut through it to get in! :roll: In the past i've heard of several cases where thieves have knocked holes in the out of sight rear of brick garages to gain access. A friend has spent a f...

Had a search through my old pics and found this. me05.jpg Yours truly, Chessy Spire Xmas 10 on the O2 in I think 1981. Yep that's an early skinsuit :lol: Anyhow, all the elements are there as discussed above, hands hard into the bottom of the levers, bent arms, straight back. I could manage to ride ...

Of my current fleet of bikes only two were bought as complete machines, however before one hit the rode it was almost completely rebuilt to my own spec and the other did maybe 500km before being completely rebuilt with a complete groupset upgrade. So effectively all my bikes are 'me' builds. Your a...

Ouch 17.6% but at least you’ll be prepared. I doubt if 'prepared' is the right term! :lol: I get to tackle a fair number of 20% and steeper stuff locally (the Col du Jenkin Road is but one of many steep hills even within the city let alone moving out into the Pennines!) You'd therefore think i'd be...
