Soon as I pressed the Post Reply button, I wondered how long it would take for the innuendo to kick in

Terra-Nova, the tent people, have some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. Credit where it's due, I moan loud enough about crap service.

Was finally able to actually see the bleed hole under the pump,so am now sure that is the problem.
Only thing is, it seems to be leaking faster since I put the stop leak stuff in.Maybe curing other tiny leaks has increased the pressure..
Will test this tomoz as will be taking W to a restaurant on the Canal du Midi, 1 1/2 hours away. Belated Bday celeb as she was too ill last week.
Sleep tight folks!

After a wet end to yesterday the rain does seem to have moved off east and we are promised a 'sunny periods type' day today.
Afternoon folks.
well the weather was pants yesterday, rain all day. So that was and outside work right off, good job I have plenty of inside work.
Anyway today has been much better and now at the point of the final wash then the great 3 day fill can commence. So next is back onto the decking job, to get that knocked out before the heat is to much.
M informed me today that Saturday is the opening of our nearest good eatery, so guess where we will be. It is also supposed to be a really sunny day so I would be knocking off by 1-2pm anyway. Gives me a reason to have a shave too.

...Afternoon all
The cycle tour was a bit of a disaster.
Day one: We met at the Park & Ride in St. Ives and rode into town for Breakfast and then set off for Cambridge, but we did not get there.
For some unknown reason my RH front wheel suffered a progressive collapse with 7 spokes snapping (6 on one side and one on the other side ).
My companion was very much NOT AMUSED and it looked like the trip was over before it had really begun. We swapped spokes from the bad side to the "not-so-bad" side and limped back to the park and ride.
Luckily my friend had brought a strange wheel with him (in the car) for us to try out a new tool on and it just happened to have spokes that were of a length that could be used to effect a repair.
Day two: Was uneventful and a decent number of miles were done, and so he stopped scowling at me.
Day 3 (today): This morning we packed up everything except the trikes and did another little 12 mile trip before returning to the camp site and loading the trikes up and going home.
I will be remaking both front wheels with new tyres, tubes and spokes (+ spares) for Holland (if we are going).
So not the happy trip I was expecting, but that's life.

Look on the bright side, you could have been on your trip to Holland. You did set out to give it (and yourself) a good test and that you have completed very successfully....Afternoon all
