I listened to it and was shocked to hear that her brother Keith who was also in the army was excused from all his army duties so he could concentrate on his cycling!
Unbelievable!

I've just been reading about the latest aircraft carrier, 4million litres of fuel for the ship and then it holds another 3million litres of fuel for the aircraft!
Fascinating stuff!

How do the gas turbine engines work and how many miles can they run for? How do they refuel if they're at sea?

Says on wikipedia your Falklands ship was sold to Pakistan and is still in service Mick F. For both ships you mentioned, it says they're powered by gas turbines, I always thought ships ran on diesel? How do they work? Tell me more please Mick F.

Thanks for that Mick F, very interesting to read about your former ship, is this the one you went to the Falklands on?

One was out at sea then came closer and circled Drakes island, did this twice and then disappeared while the other one kept going round in a big circle miles out at sea.
Brought a bike down here with me but these hills are no fun and the beers rubbish as well!

Looks like I'll have to wait for Mick F to reply with a sensible answer instead of childish replies. Where's Vorpal the moderator?

Syphon off diesel? This is 2020 not the 60's !!!

Working in Wembury this week and have noticed 2 navy ships going round in circles in Plymouth Sound! What are they doing? Maybe Mick F will know?

Go on the Garmin forum and read up about the Edge Explore on there, the battery issue is a known problem. Hence Garmin specification states the battery life as "up to 12 hours"
Unless you've bought one how can you comment on something you know absolutely nothing about ??

Don't bother with the edge explore, battery life is terrible, returned mine after 18 months as the battery life was about 3hrs. Got 30% off a new edge 830 with a speed sensor 2 thrown in. Battery life on the 830 is far better, 7 and a half hours riding over the weekend used 20% battery. Still use my...

Theres a long way to go yet! I think the maths teacher is driving up to Gaily Island to give her a cheer, no doubt Lynne Taylor will be there as well.
