Back home - house mate to the rescue, thanks for waiting and helping with the wheel. New tyres incoming.

A tough route with about as many hills as I could cram in. We set off from the BH with Andy Wrightson also joining. George Barker met us at the café for some much needed refreshment.

As we climbed Shatterford bank and turned for Trimpley,
Mike unfortunately **flat**d and had a tough time trying to get the tyre re-seated on the rim (super hard...took 3-4 of us+multiple tyre levers) without puncturing the inner tubes. Went through his two spares before giving up and calling for a lift.

Cheers everyone... surely some tired legs
