The Seven hadn't been out for a fortnight. I was going to go for a trundle last Sunday, but the weather was awful. Anyway, my new front tyres arrived on Tuesday so I went down to my favourite tyre fitters at Bont Newydd to get them fitted, only to discover that he is on holiday! The journey wasn't entirely wasted, though, as I had taken my grand-daughter with me so that she could collect her new glasses from the optician in nearby Dolgellau. On the way back, we checked the accuracy of the speedometer against the satnav app on her phone. It seems to be a fairly consistent 5 miles per hour pessimistic throughout its range. Averaged a dizzying 47 mph along the A494 between Gwersyllte Glanllyn and Bala (about 3.7 miles of good flat straight 'A' road)
Got home and fitted the tyres myself.
