Thursday 22nd November

At Sea Walls, I picked up a piece of blackthorn on my front wheel, as I took the thorn out there was a tell-tale swish of air from the tyre. Luckily it is a fairly slow puncture, and (I hope) not a portent of more problems now that I'm riding a hybrid bicycle (A Dawes Discovery 501 bought on October 10th). They have more vulnerable tyres than my old mountain bike, but is much faster and easier ti ride. The tyre inflation lasted from Sea Walls nearly as far as Redland Green so I did not have to walk too far.

Before the puncture I did spot a large number of gulls on the mud, and several Redshank, but, by the time I reached the Peregrine Watch I decided I needed to hurry home.
