Caliban and Hilda's excellent Arran adventure

[Rolfe]

No. She was made in Lancashire, and I had an aunt called Hilda who came from Lancashire and wouldn't let you forget it.

Also, Hilda means "valkyrie", and that's what an e-bike makes you feel like. Flying.

Awww, thank you for clarifying, the world needs more Hildas in it.

Oh dear Cod, 60’s Corrie, how did I miss that?

You're showing our age there

I think most of us on here are 'that age'

Let’s check, Victoria Carson. Would you should you could you?

Victoria Carson ?


* Edit * Do you mean Violet Carson?

I don't like the way the break in the weather is getting sooner. It's now looking dodgy from about five o'clock on Thursday. If I leave reasonably early I should be back at the car by then though. So long as the progression doesn't continue.

@Giller Clearly I'm not as old as you think I am. No idea who that is

 

[Giller]

Victoria Carson ?

I meant Ena Sharples, but move along and bless you for replying…

 

[Rolfe]

I'm calling time on this derail!

I know the character, but the actresses name was Violet not Victoria Carson according to Wikipedia.

The weather forecast has repented of its earlier attack of pessimism, and the fine spell is once again scheduled to last right through Thursday. Friday isn't looking too bad either.

Here we are at the ferry terminal, a Tesla had one charger but I got the other. Some lower avian life form has shat on Caliban's newly-valeted bonnet.

I thought I might find lunch here, and a lad has just gone past munching on something from a paper bag, so I think I'll go and investigate. I have nearly an hour.

Aww yes, what a birdy mess.

It'll have to wait till I get to my camp site, the water isn't accessible.

Found a big Asda just round the corner, that'll do.

I've actually got enough food with me for a week but I didn't fancy getting everything out while connected to a charger.

As usual I didn't check my start time and then I saw the one-hour time limit, but I know it was after half past one and the ferry check-in closes at ten to three.

ETA: Got to 96% on the 50 kw charger, can't say fairer than that. It's possible I won't need to charge again until I'm back here on my way home, unless I want to do some driving on the island too.

It's been overcast all day but the sun is coming out now. Game on!

Out of interest, how is Hilda transported? Towbar type rack?

Waterless wash, don't leave home without it.
