Plan A the Punctureville followed by Plan B then Plan C

Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/sRQKPI7LNYb  been a lot of gym work for a while and I'm looking forward to a nice gravel ride so off we go out over Church Hill, Hill Top, Metro Cycleway, Sandwell Valley not doing the bit by the river after last time so pick up the canal at Hamstead and guess what the towpaths shut and barricaded off so have to go through the village picking up the Tame Valley Cycleway but not for long rear puncture and it's massive god knows what I've gone over tried to fix it but none of my plugs were big enough had a go at putting two in didn't work so.
Plan B  Strava: https://strava.app.link/4UxySLzNNYb 
the long walk home that didn't last long as I came back to Hamstead village a new plan was taking place in my head Plan C  Strava: https://strava.app.link/SBE8HqGNNYb onto the station eventually getting to grips with the ticket machine bingo Choo Choo to Bescot then into Halfords they haven't got any plugs but have a repair kit so purchased that complet with plugs of various sizes plus a pouch of sealant borrowed a track pump and bingo temporary repair done so cycled the last bit now need to order new tyre's the back one is definitely done for. On the bright side made it home safe and sound so all's good except for my wallet which is certainly lighter
