It did sting when I had a shower I have to say! I checked the r/b I came off at - it was actually the one off which Appletree Lane runs. Apart from the fall, an enjoyable ride! (but how come it's uphill going out AND uphill coming back? :) )

Thanks Chris, yes still on Gary's bike, almost got the position right. I need to lower the saddle a little bit more but to do that I will have to saw off a bit of the seat post, but don't tell him it'll be our secret.
