The trouble is the bottom two are going to be heavy and unwieldy, and will need holding in place whilst I mark them for drilling and whilst I fix them with Rawl Bolts, hopefully using the original holes. I really don't think I can do that on my own from a ladder. If it was possible it will take 10 times as long whilst I'm constantly moving the ladder. With scaffolding I should be able to persuade Lady Nasher up there to help a little and do some painting. And yes, I'm going to feel a lot safer.
Walked to Looe from our lodge, fed and watered on another pastie plus a very nice crab sandwich, short boat trip around Looe island and didn’t fancy the walk back so got a taxi which was a bit like death race 2000 down the lanes.
I rode to Hexham then to Corbridge via a wiggly route. Stopped in Corbridge, met a friend and had a cold drink in the beer garden.
Started preparing for euro bike trip starting Saturday. Bought some motorbike specific travel insurance. Checked the breakdown cover on the new multi. Sorted out an extension lead and and a euro travel plug. Put some Euros on a money travel card . Dug out a small wash bag . I will get some euros tomorrow from the travel agent. Hoping it cools down in the SoF
