Good point, but if you get back to Cheltenham ok it would be an idea to throw it in the back.

There is a kit you can buy to install a rubber plug in a tyre and effect a permanent repair at the roadside, and a mate of mine who runs an independant tyre fitters swears by them.

I'll see if I can dredge up the link....
