Very tempted but may wait till a friend goes to the states as they are virtually half the price over there. Cheers for the discout code though, may have another look as Sheffield isn't too far.

I am just occasionally tootling round the local park at the moment whilst trying not to overdo it. I am really right at the start of this experiment. Although not even doing that after coming a cropper on my bike earlier in the week. Big fat knee and no running this weekend for me :( Kate – I think that ones better for Iain to answer?
