Puncture!!

A couple of miles east of Stiffkey on the A149 the tyre pressure sensor did its work. I was prepared, got out the aerosol of inflator and pumped it in. Rode it a bit and a friendly local pointed me to Holt where there is a Kwick Fit, unfortunately the tyre was not fully inflated, but a passing tractor driver had an airline. We pumped it up, but by then the hole was visible and air was escaping as fast as it would go in. The kind tractor driver rang the local ATS but they don't deal with bikes, so it's Carol Nash

breakdown. They say they will be here within the hour. Hey ho. There are some barns I can shelter in, and I have coffee.

The wind is strong and the sky black so I might need this.
