I've given up on the hub so have ordered a whole new rear wheel. This may or may not end up on a brand new bike in time for a little 1000 kilometre shakedown ride...
Just to be on the safe side I've also just had Hep A/B, Typhoid, DTP, Rabies and Tick Borne Encephalitis travel shots... because there's nothing like putting a load of diseases and chemicals into your body before doing something a bit arduous.
Weather looks stunning again. I think I should take up golf... as in watching it from the sofa...
