DIY Puncture repairing.
When we arrived in Évora, we booked in at the municipal campsite and after the tent erecting was completed, I took advantage of the hosepipe in the chemical toilet emptying bay, to find and hopefully fix the puncture that had plagued me since Castelo Branco. I found the tiniest of holes in the inner tube and put a big patch over it. After refitting and inflating the tyre, I ran water over it for ages, but could see no bubbles or any other sign of escaping air, and so I put the wheel back on the bike, convinced that I had sorted it at last.
While I was puncture mending, Paul had loaned his hammer out to a fellow camper who was having difficulty getting her tent pegs in.
I've brought your hammer back!
