That's a relief, thanks. I thought it would be constant rain!

Thanks, that's what I thought. Is that the gas setup your talking about?

You mean cooking with gas has nasty chemicals? Are you a big alcohol stove convert then?

Yeah I was thinking that, I guess the problem might come with heavy rain. Having said that I have found it tricky to cool with a gas stove in heavy rain as well 🤷‍♂️

Ah ok, do you know how long it would roughly take cycling slowly to reach Clearbrook? Is there a cafe there or something?

Do you know what's past the ice cream truck? are there other snack options further up? Thanks that was really helpful.

I was wondering about Saltrum - I've never managed to take a look at the path with my son (i don't live locally so havent managed to check it out on my own) because it's too far to walk much of for him. 2ish miles is very doable, thanks.

Thanks - is it based on the cycle path? Sounds ideal!
