Beautiful Acqueduct but fuck going over it on a boat. I can dul understand the fears, I'd be a wreck 😂

Before Covid I was speaking to Timmy mallet at an art exhibit of his at the local bike shop. He had just been to Wrexham and ponysyyttllle aqueduct to paint. I said I’d never been across despite being from there. I do suffer from a fear of drops not heights - it’s weird, and almost like you’re about to fall off the perfectly flat and stable surface. I can stand on top of a mountain with no problem. But a fire escape can make me hold on to the rails for dear life. Odd.

 

although I fucking despise  the text input/editor, I do take pride in making it my bitch so to speak LOL

Steering wheel wobble at certain speeds that I think might be a slightly buckled alloy. Only minor. I don't feel like Michael J Fox driving a Hillman Avenger.

Having direct experience of how an older L320 behaves when trying to go around a corner a little* bit too quickly, this struck a chord with me.

The RRS feels sporty and then it quickly reminds you it’s actually a big fat bastard wearing spanx.

"They're in there now ....laughing at you .... mocking you ..... chuck it back over their fence. Then fill their wheely bin up with your hosepipe and prop it up against their front door so it floods the cunts when they open it."
