I hadn't though of that! I have a Samsung Galaxy S with micro-USB any recommendations?

Well, any would do. They have a USB out port, so you just plug any USB cable in and charge away.

Well, my experience ...

1. started with a power monkey: not recommended, as they have low power by today's standards and the switch can click on and then it's flat when you're ready to use it.
2. moved on to a veho pebble: much better, but only seems to power my little (1200mAh) battery about twice. Still - auto off, which means if it comes on accidentally, it turns off. If the cable pulls out, it turns off. If the phone reaches full charge, it turns off. IE if you remember to recharge, it's ready. I'd buy another one if they were still cutting edge but I'm ....
3. Awaiting delivery of a Trent iCruiser: I'll let you know about how that works out. But with a battery twice as large as the pebble, I have big hopes. On the other hand, it takes 9 hours to charge, and I think it's fairly big.

Thank you!

Actually, I have one really important question. Pronunciation: DunWich or Dun-ich? I assumed the latter, but have heard both.

Are you bringing the dog ?

Hadn't thought about it but I could!

Your assumption is correct.

This is Suffolk, how a place is spelt can have little or no influence on how the name is actually pronounced. For example, 'Debach' is pronounced 'Debbage' and 'Haverhill' is pronounced 'shite'.

Weather forecast is shaping up nicely: warm & dry!

Quite a strong wind from the SW which should make the ride home interesting...

I didn't realise you were riding back from Dunwich to Ipswich. I have no idea whether I am or not!

I often do a ride that is circular from Epping through to Dunmow and back via Takeley to Harlow. It matters not what the weather gurus say. I usually have a head wind all the way round.

Funny how it always works out like that...

You are: don't you think 250km has a nice ring to it?

Heinously tempting
