Great pictures planetx. Looks beautiful. Was it wild camping or a campsite? I have yet to do any wild camping, though it is something I would like to try, just a bit wary about being a solo female on. can't wait until I can get camping with the Sherpa, but I am having to save every penny at the moment, so can't go waltzing off here, there and everywhere. Mind you I will make up for it in the Summer.
Jags, glad you managed to get out and enjoy the good weather. Been dry here, but a bit cloudy and muggy. I completed my first ever metric 100 yesterday. In fact I ended up doing 103km or 64 miles. I think I could have gone a bit further too. No ill effects today from muscles at all, BUT ... I have my first saddle sore. I thought my sit bones were just feeling a bit bruised to start with, but no. It's mainly just the left side and I am wondering as it seems to match just where there is a 'seam' running along my Brooks B17 saddle. I hadn't really noticed this before. I also have a B17 Flyer (B17 with springs, and that doesn't have the seam running around it) In fact the Flyer seems to be a better quality leather.
It's not really a seam as such is is just a line that runs all the way around the seat that is slightly raised. I just wondered if this was normal for the B17. I actually prefer the comfort of the men's B17 over the ladies Flyer because it is longer, and on the Flyer I find I am sitting very close to the nose which of course is not too comfortable. However, it is now starting to soften up a little and is showing signs of shaping up to me, which of course the B17 is not. It does seem to be taking a bit longer for the B17 to show any signs of wear as I have done just over 300 miles now and there is no sign at all as of yet.
