Autumn on the Stray
Had a lovely walk on the Stray in Harrogate. This is a view of Trinity Methodist Church on a fine and sunny Autumn afternoon.
Returning home over the moor between Oxenhope and Hebden Bridge my car 'beeped' and advised me to check my tyre pressures. When I did - Joy of Joys - I had a puncture ........
There is a trend for car manufacturers to replace the traditional spare tyre with a d.i.y. temporary puncture repair kit. This consists of a small plug-in air compressor and a container of tyre sealant. You blow the sealant into the tyre via the compressor - this should seal the offending hole and when you get to the required pressure you can then disconnect everything and drive off again - but at a much reduced speed.
This I did - fortunately I was only around 8 miles from home. Phone call to the tyre depot needed in the morning.....
