I wired mine through a relay with the switched terminal going to the rear light then there is no increased load on the thin wires to the light

Thanks Dave

Looking good
The road down to Ambleside from kirkstone pass is called the struggle it's great when you get a clear run down weeling and jumping the crests

Mine was really wallowey when I got it I ramped up the preload about 3 clicks and about 2 clicks on the rebound and 3 on the compression
I don't know if it was on standard settings when I started but it feels a lot more sporty now

Today, did the Keswick/Borrowdale/Honister/Buttermere/Whinlatter/Keswick loop. I wrapped up so much, I was actually too warm at times. And found my old cold-killers inner gloves before going, which worked a treat inside Spada Enforcer gloves.
Borrowdale:
I think that's called Sergeant's Crag:
If you walk to the foot of it, then swing around it to the right, the path takes you up towards Angle Tarn and you can go on to Bow Fell from there. I did it the other way around a few years ago, starting at Langdale, and camping down below the tarn.
Heading up towards the Honister Pass:
And at the cafe car park:
Slate sculpture:
One of the things I love about the Lake District is you don't have to walk far above the roads and car parks to get some really stunning views:
Although I have definitely lost my hill-fitness!
Yeah, I know, I've posted this view before, but it's a favourite of mine  :
I had been a bit concerned about the possibility of ice on this loop, but in actual fact the roads were all dry, and very little run-off from the hills. Past Buttermere and you go past Crummock Water:
There's a great walk I did above here. Starting with Whiteless Pike:
You carry on up onto, I think, Eel Crag, then turn to cross a broad, high plain, which takes you to the top of Grasmoor:
From which you get some really spectacular views all the way to Scafell on a good day, with ridge after ridge in between.
Also viewed from hereabouts, Red Pike:
From the Buttermere side, a bit of a desperate scramble on very loose, steep scree towards the top!
A last shot looking back down the road before heading for the cafe and home:
Had to go to Ambleside in the car today went over hardknot pass because the road is closed at dunmail rise and was surprised at the lack of ice

That's to far gone mate for welding if you are wanting to patch up you can buy an exhaust bandage to wrap around it

I got a rear puncture on the isle of Lewis last summer on a Sunday when nothing is open.
I had one of the Bung kits with co2 canisters fixed in about 20 mins and put the 3 canisters in but this only gave me 20 psi then had to ride about 20 miles to find a garage with a compressor that wasn't turned off
I now carry 6 canisters!

who would go by bike to a bike show? How do you get all the new goodies home?
I think there is a courier stand to post stuff home

A guy at one of our suppliers rides all year and says the only way to keep hands functioning in the depths of winter are bar muffs
I ride an enduro bike in the winter with heated grips and the hand guards are only good for keeping branches etc off controls they do nothing for me by way of protecting hands from cold

I use Dormer at work. They work well on exotic stainless steels so should be good for you
