A warm day, ideal for pottering.  Meeting up with his best friend, Tom Idle from Manchester, the pair of them spent all day pottering about in the very best of scenic surroundings, but going nowhere in particular – apart that is from planning a New Year Holiday tour of North Wales – should finances permit.  Charlie is obviously still not happy with his saddle again, despite covering many miles in Wales without written adverse comment, and makes a further change, swopping his Brooks narrow for a B19 of Tom’s.
