I got a simple but well made blender years ago - made by Waring and it’s the one with the glass jug. Looks lovely and works brilliantly. Nothing flash - just low and high speeds - and it blends

I can’t comment on the bag option as I’ve never tried one. But we got a Thule box last year and have used it a few times for camping. It’s very nicely made and a pleasure to use. It also hold a vast...

I was looking at these recently as I do a fair amount of running and while I don’t mind the cold dark mornings (Petzl Nao+ is worth every penny) the OH isn’t so confident. I was considering a...

We’ve got one - the poco plus and I think it’s worth it. Have done lots of walks with our now 18 month old in it and it is a delight to use. Light but sturdy and very well made. Baby is well secured...

Another vote for Garmin - I had a Suunto 2 for about 6 years and then last year upgraded to the Garmin 6X and it’s amazing. I prefer buttons to touch screen. It does far more than I ever need - I...

Thanks for doing this Dave - I’ve just rejoined as well. As above, I was added in as soon as I requested to join.

Congrats - that’s a very nice run and time for a 1/2M.

I can’t buy any tinned baked beans anymore. Not since I discovered Jamie Oliver’s BBQ baked beans recipe. A whole different level of deliciousness.

I’ve a Daystate Mk3, which I’ve had for many years and when I bought it I went down to the factory and they let me have my choice of their walnut stocks. It’ll need a service as I haven’t used it for...

Another +1. Very impressive - build quality, performance and quiet too. In the past I’ve used Dysons (never that impressed, very plasticky and prone to breakage) and a Henry - horrible thing that...

A little more than your request, but I really rate Spyderco - and I’ve EDC’d the UKPK for about 10 years. Very well made, holds an edge well and easy enough to sharpen. One handed opening and closing...

Any known issues with MY 16 D2 engines, specifically piston slap or bearings letting go?

I’ve a D2 V40 - have had it from new and it has 47k miles on it now. Always driven sympathetically - warmed...

Argh - sorry to hear that Andrzej. I hope it settles down quickly.

I’ll definitely report back afterwards :)

Wow - and thanks MT. that’s a huge help and to get an idea of what I’m heading towards. My mistake though in the name of the event I’ve entered - it’s the Ambleside trail 60km.

I think the next...

For goodness sake don’t be embarrassed about that - that’s amazing. You should be rightly proud and feel able to share.

If you’re worried people who ‘only’ do 10km, or 1/2Ms or marathons will...

I know that feeling :)

That’s still good running Andrzej - well done.

Do you think you’d set out a little quick? I have an out and back 4 mile route at home. When I really went for it I got a time I was happy with. A...

Nice one Darren - well done!!

Well done all for getting out at all today. It was great weather for the ducks I saw, but wasn’t ideal conditions to run in. Felt a bit flat and ran out for the first half into a stiff headwind....

3 out of 5 of my nearest parkruns are cancelled for tomorrow :(

Still going to go and run around my nearest one on my own :)

Enjoy the weekend runs chaps and stay safe!

A retired couple next door take on dogs (on behalf of a service) while their owners are on holidays etc. They started doing this after their own dog died and thinking they were too old to get another...

Excellent Andrzej - congratulations!!

Hahaha - had a good laugh at those and recognised I’m guilty of 9, 8, 4 and 2 :). In fairness I only once set out on a run with the purpose to improve my time on one uphill Strava segment. I got 2nd,...

Yikes, that looks painful. Hope it settles quickly with meds and you’re back on the roads again soon.
