Out on a trail in The Cotswolds comes across a Hi-viz cover for a camelbak hanging from high bramble bush so thought OOH have that my find the owner on here or give it to someone.So carry along this trail to Brockhampton.Then do few miles along country lanes through a village called Whittington then in front of me see 3 riders.Two have these covers on so go past them first rider doesnt so say to him have you lost anything today and he says his cover.He looked very surprised and happy wanted to offer me something but had nothing other than a choc bar not that i wanted anything.Could not take his choc bar he might be hungry :roll:.The chances of this????

5 miles! Try 3 months. I was on a riding trip down to Exmoor and when I came to do the washing after found I'd lost a glove. Thinking it might turn up I kept the other one for 3 months, finally giving up a week or so ago and in the bin it went.

Needless to say, the other one turned up during Christmas tidy up.

On the plus side, I added a new pair to my Evans order last night so have a new pair for free!!

i found a phone at Stanage, i took it home and phoned a few people in the contacts list - to try and contact the owner.

it didn't take long, and a few miinutes later i handed the phone back to it's owner over the garden wall - his garden backed onto mine.

Found a wllet at Inners. Carried it around for a bit, asked a couple of peeps if they had lost one. Found someone hwo said yes, and he gave me the name which was on the driving licence inside so I gave it to him.
37-1 sounds about right for that.
