Any watch-outs on the cider, apart from what you’ve mentioned here? Getting my first brew on tomorrow. Done a few beers previously with good results, quite looking forward to what seems to be a simpler process.

Apples, elderberries, a few damsons and Some hazelnuts. Not a bad haul. Planning to get some wine and cider going tomorrow.

I’m up and down that most days. I’ll give you a wave!

Oh cheers! Somerset-way so a bit far, but will check some of the NT places round here. Good tip!

Hope it’s a good one ride out. And yes, see you around! We’re up the other end of Weston. There’s a good pub down near you - hop pole. Worth a look in if you haven’t already.

Someone mentioned a hawthorn jelly using crab apples for the pectin? Spotted a crab apple on the way home today so might give it a go. Would love to find a walnut, congrats on the find! Eyes peeled.

@mespilus unfortunately no pigs. But I do have some kids I could fatten up...

Beech nuts. Anything interesting I can do with them? Seems to be tons coming out.

Will do! Likewise for you, I’ll likely be on an old white/yellow/purple moustached Raleigh or a pink (purple?) straggler. We’re based in Weston. Love it out here. Easy for town easy for the hills. You?

Yeah there’s still a good load of red berries, and we’ve had a ton already too. Just this current window has been marred by the damp conditions. Literal mould growing all over!

That’s great, thanks. Will give it a go next weekend.

Just went out to grab some blackberries but the recent rain has made them all mouldy. Instead I came back with a surprise haul of damsons and hops, and a bunch of apples from a nearby orchard. Feel a boozy winter coming on...

That is an excellent specimen! What type of tree is that on?

Got an absolute ton of elderberries in the garden. Wife’s been making some lovely spiced syrup with them. Wouldn’t mind giving the wine a go. Got a good link or reference for the process? Otherwise I’ll chance it with google.

Bit of a lurker on the forum, but also recently moved to Bath. Been a year now. Taken a while to get used to but loving it now. Great for the kids. Dad’s over in Nailsworth which I’ve always loved. Great pub too, Village Inn.

Ok to post saddle bag? UK, Bath.

No probs

Ok to post? If so I’ll take the pannier.

I'm on the lookout for a pair of SPD shoes for MTB or touring. Any condition considered. I'd like a reasonably cheap set so I can see if I get used to cycling with them before I splash out on a new set. £15-20 inc. postage to Bath, UK. Or if you're local I can pick up, Bath or Bristol. If anyone could help out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Let me know! Thanks.

Well, I think it's great. There's always time for fun.
He also had something to do with this (I think) which is also very nice in my opinion.

obviously not to the extent of being musical ;)

is there a question of different spoke lengths giving off a different pitch? like a guitar?

i just built my first wheels up too.
to get the tension i just plucked a spoke and checked the 'ping' against my housemates wheelset.
2 months later they're still fine...

you shoulda packed a spare toe clip too...

aww, sorry.

Aw shit. Busted. Now THAT was a night i'll never forget...
Actually, sorry to disappoint, just the thought of toby anstis using the forum seemed pretty funny.
