Not sure re ground anchor, will speak to Scottland. Failing that, she can chain her to the car

I'll just make sure it's still here in the coat cupboard at work.....

Ok, still there, I'll bring it back tonight. Scottland, this bit is quite important, I have included a CISA padlock that was part of a batch I tested for weaknesses some time ago, as a result, some of the pin springs have broken on the inside and the lock can only be opened with the cutout facing DOWN, so that the pins fall into their correct position rather than being held there by the now rather busted springs. Apart from that, it's tip top and totally ok to use, in fact it's another layer of security.

I am Maxine from Almax and we will donate a Ground Anchor FOC if you pm me with the address I will send it direct along with a lock bag so she can carry the chain around that Zanx donated.

Guys....thank you, thank you, thank you! I know that she is a bit overwhelmed by all of this....but I also know that the joy she expresses just by learning to ride the bike and just get out there is immense....and it truly couldn't be happening to a nicer person!

Did I already thank everyone....if not THANK YOU!

I'm probably going down there this weekend so will pass all this goodwill on!

Glad this all went (reasonably) well - but the end result is the main thing!

If you get a chance, give me a shout if you're down this way Scotty
