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.
