The tree is usually down the bank a fair way, alongside the river.

One of the cars is abandoned, prob after an aborted crossing. I was staring at it yesterday wondering if my wng would make it through .... in the end, I went round the very long way.

Seems flooding is becoming common nowadays, for a few reasons.

Finshed sewing it up

Fitted the batteries light and my RCD type fuse, all went well till I sat on the seat, it pushed down the reset button, so I e fitted a shield over the button with a big of copper pipe. All good now. It will in time settle down a bit lower.

My front mudguard looked very high off the wheel ss my, never really bothered me but decided to do something abaout it.
Bought the stays from Draganfly that allowed me to cut to size then Alan silver soldered them.
Not too sure I have it in the correct position, it looks a but back on the wheel.
