From my research, it is an early'ish bike and I have found several suitable batteries, all around the £200 mark. The big choice, price wise, is the amp hour rating, generally around 10 but, obviously, the higher the rating, the more miles you're going to get per charge. 36v, 250w and 8 - 10 amp hours will give you around 20-22 miles. Perhaps Jerry could have a look at the battery and get the rating off it. Although an early model, it would make a sturdy run around and if you're handy, you can bypass the limiting controls and fit a throttle, thus doing away with the need to peddle at all. 😉 Terry.

This is exactly what I did when mine was at home, a piece of timber cut to size under the axle stands. Terry.

Would it not be possible to get someone to make a stainless steel guide to attach to your roller housing to direct the course of the anchor? Terry.

I don't think they'll come this far but if I lived more locally, I would definitely support them. Got to be better than supermarket fish. Terry.

Local address and local landline, couldn't be hooky, couldit? Terry.

I would imagine the bream are appreciating the break, roll on 2021. Terry.

Good skills Jim! 😁 Terry.

I think I spot a parking space in the High Street. Always the same when you don't need bait! Terry.

It's the old Offshore mould that Warrior bought to produce an offshore boat. It will be fitted with twin outboards unlike the diesel which was originally fitted. I believe it's the same as Tom Smith's boat Illusion. Terry.

Steve Porter has just posted that for anyone travelling to the Channel Islands there is the requirement to quarantine for 14 days which means that his trips to Alderney will not be possible. He is doing a passenger delivery to Guernsey and Alderney next week and is not allowed to go ashore. So far, there have been no cases of coronovirus in Alderney and I guess they want to keep it that way. Terry.

Stingray will be available for hire at reasonable rates and she goes under the bridges. 😁

I've just seen on the news of a guy who targeted an old man with dementia and offered to do shopping and relieved him of £400.00. See, initiative, get thinking. 😉😁

I'm getting concerned, is anyone working and paying for my pension? Just asking! Terry.

Hopefully, they have been instructed to show common sense during a difficult and busy period. Terry.

Lucky it's quality but, knowing Ian, any port in a storm would do. Terry.

I will look forward to the results of your plaice hunt with great interest. Terry.

You can expect to buy a lot of beer for the older hands! 😉😁

You could be a very useful addition to the club, didn't you used to be a weather man? Welcome, keep an eye on the website for people wanting crew, as you're retired there will be mid week opportunities with the Old Gits Brigade. Terry.

Well, that's put me in my place, I promise not to try anything mildly amusing at your expense again. Terry.

Martin has a lot to answer for. 😉 Terry.

Ok, everyone who is confirmed on the trip now has accommodation and has been advised where they are billeted. If anyone else decides to make the trip, let me know as I have a few spaces available. Terry.

Alderney Angling is now full but I have two other places that I am waiting to hear back from. Will update soonest. Terry.

You were first to ask so are in, of course. Terry.

There is obviously going to be more beds required than I have so I will endeavour to secure more. Watch this space. Can anyone else requiring accommodation please let me know ASAP. Terry.

Ok, Mark has been a bit difficult to get hold of but has now touched base. I have 9 beds at the newly named Ramblers B & B (Alderney Angling as was), 4 of which are taken so, 5 beds left. This is for the 1st - 3rd May inclusive, i.e returning on the 4th. Terry.
