Further and Faster / Re: New bike for Audax from Halfords.
« Last post by Delidroid on Today at 01:36:29 pm »Great to hear about the ride. Re tyres, it'd be interesting to hear comments about those. I use Schwalbe Road Cruiser 600 x 1.75 on the expedition tourer, tough tyre but performs well at a fair price. Good for use on our potholed roads.
I have WTB Thickslick on the bike at the moment. Blodwyn also recommended mudguards. I don't know if they will fit over the tyres that look like balloons.

Camping It Up / Re: New forest campsites
« Last post by Paul H on Today at 01:25:55 pm »Not what you asked, but if the dates fit there's the New Forest Rally which is very family friendly:

The only other time I've camped in the New Forest was at the Burley YHA on a forum weekend (Possibly ACF but more likely Cycling +) It was fine, but it's glamped up a bit since then.

Ctrl-Alt-Del / Re: Today's scammer
« Last post by mrcharly-YHT on Today at 01:05:54 pm »House phone rings. Usually this is someone looked for the person who used to have that number.
"We are calling from Microsoft regarding the computer that is in your house."
I laugh and hang up.
They call back immediately. "Why did you terminate the call?"
"because you are a scammer." Hang up.
They call back, but from a different number. "Why did you terminate the call, we are calling regarding the computer, which we might have to disable."
This time, I swear at them.
They call back again! "we will have to disable the computer which is in your house."
I swear, extensively, and hang up.
