How do hope you’re keeping well? Look at this hair. Proper beeges thing going on at the moment, haven’t I? It’s a do. It really is. Anyway, um contacted Depo for you, uh the people who I got my bike from. Uh and they said bring you around and we’ll see what we can do. But obviously no promises cuz it’s an old battery, isn’t it? So, uh I’m off to Shbury now. I’ve got 75 miles to play with in the Mini. Yes, I got to get back for lunchtime because Sandra’s having a haircut. Uh but fingers crossed I can get this sorted. And you never know, might even get to go fishing this afternoon. I don’t know. But um I’m going to take the positives out the day again. Uh and uh if this doesn’t go to plan, uh the plan is to do more gardening and stuff like that. Anyway, I got to go cuz Postman’s here and he’ll probably look at me thinking, “My god, what the hell?” A few moments later. There it is. Me always getting caught doing my piece to camera and I hate doing it because I think I look like an absolute weirdo. But anyway, if I didn’t do it, you wouldn’t get videos like this, would you? Right. So, time to crack on. So, I’ve just been to Depos and uh yeah, sort my battery out. Sort my battery out. So, I’m going to go home and hopefully I’m going to get out on the bike. Um if you come here, if you order a bike from them cuz the service is really good cuz they’re they’re local. Well, they’re in England for a start and they’re in Tropia, so you can just rock up here and get spare spare parts and they’ll help you out as best as possible. And they found a battery for me. So, I am chuffed. I’m absolutely chuffed. But it’s in the middle of it’s the middle of nowhere. Well, in the middle of the countryside. It’s not nowhere, is it? Of course, it’s somewhere. But it’s a beautiful part of the world. But I’ll flip the camera. So, if ever you come this way, you know what you’re looking for. There we go, folks. Right, got a battery. Let’s go adventuring, shall we? Sorry, buddy. No, it’s all right, mate. My fault. Cheers. I know where this is. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Thought I’d stop here by this a lotment sign cuz I’m a bit lost. got quite a bit of battery left on the new battery which I’m chuffed about. I’m I’m so chuffed. Um and I’ve already gone further than I’ve ever been before on the ebike and I’ve got battery left. So I’m going to go to Iron Bridge and I’m going to try and have a point. Fingers crossed if they take card. At this point, I think there’s more chance of the GoPro running out before the other battery. So, let’s go. I think I’m going the right way. Turn right onto Beach Road, then turn left to stay on Beach Road. Turn left to stay on Beach Road. Then turn right onto School Road. Turn right onto School Road. Then turn left onto Robert’s Road. Turn left onto Robert’s Road. Then turn right onto Orchard Lane. Turn right onto Orchard Lane. Then turn right to stay on Orchard Lane. Oh wow. This is new. This is new. Drop a little hollowway, isn’t it? Oh, grally bit. We’re going into the seven gorge now. Slight right. In 200 y, turn left onto Woodlands Road. In 200 y, turn right onto Maidley Road, B4373. Turn right onto Maidley Road, B4373. I know where I am. Looks like they need some brakes here. In a quarter of a mile, turn right onto St. Luke’s Road. Heat. Heat. Turn right onto St. Luke’s Road. Then you will arrive at your destination. You have arrived. sake. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] There we have it, folks. That’s something ticked off. I’ve ridden my bike to the iron bridge. And not only that, I’ve crossed it. There we go. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before on a bike. It’s quite nice. I’m absolutely parched, though. I got plenty of battery left, although I’ve got a big hill to get home. But then it’s it pers out so it should be fine. Take it nice and steady. Going to try and get a pint now cuz I am absolutely hot. Feel good, man. Feel good. Right. Turn the GoPro off and get a beer. [Applause] Made it to this one. Plenty of battery, I think. Fingers crossed. As I said, furthest I’ve burn and I’m chuffed. Um, got a point in of the uh hobgoblin stout. It’s nice, actually. Really good. To be fair, it’s it’s always a good point in this one. I know it’s not cask. I know it’s not cask. Don’t shout me down. But it’s a it’s a good stout. That hobgoblin stout. It’s It’s probably on par with what Guinness used to be about 5 years ago. Uh, it’s not as good as the alpha stout. Not at all. But it’s all right. It’s all right. I should have done an honest places thing and rated it with the creamy dome on it and it was a good one. Look at that. But I was talking to the barman and obviously I had a couple of sips. Well, actually had one sip. Uh, so unfortunately you missed that bit. But it was good. Nice creamy dough. Right, I’m going to enjoy this and then hopefully get home safe. See you in a bit. I think it’s supposed to drive through here. Isn’t it closed? No, not You probably can’t hear me, but I’m at the top of Cherry Tree Hill uh in Iron Bridge. Um can’t believe it. I got battery left and I can’t believe I got up that hill. I didn’t put it on the fastest setting. I put it on the uh basic one. Used a bit of Ross power and a bit of battery power. I got up here it got battery left. I’m on my way home and I tell you what chuffed. I am I’m really chuffed. I’m really chuffed. I’ve ticked off so many things in the last few days I’ve wanted to do and uh ah I feel uh exhilarated. Is that the right word? I think so. Anyway, I just changed the GoPro battery. Uh, it’s a bit noisy here and I’m gonna crack on. Hello. Hello. Echo. I was here yesterday. Dory Street Station. Oh, Dory and Stley Station. Sorry, it’s a dyslexia in me. I see an S. I pre-eread it. Ready? Slight left onto National Route 55. back up. In a quarter of a mile, turn right onto South Telford Way. [Music] Dory town center closer to me than Dory. How pretty is this? So many good places around Telford that we just don’t know about or don’t go to. [Applause] All right, that’s enough listening to the birds. Better go Heat up here.

You may recall I said my e-bike had died, and the manufacturer wanted a small fortune for a new control head and battery well, with nothing to lose, I peeled the pretty stickers off the back, and undid the screws – to find – -a broken wire/bad solder joint! Re-did that, and it's back in business! 🙂
